Mutual authentication requirements in SSG

Title: Mutual authentication requirements in SSG

Hi,

In the security study group, we discussed the need for MIHF level authentication.

There were a few topics in this area:

What do people see as serving as the basis for credentials for the MIHF?

Is it possible to reuse the network access authentication or MSTP transport authentication for the MIHF level?

Is mutual authentication always required, or is one way sufficient for some applications?

Is the need for authentication different between the four different services (management, ES, IS, CE)?

Comments? Proposed solutions?

Best Regards,
Michael
