PANA for Roaming Wi-Fi Access in Fixed Network Architectures
First Claim
1. A network component comprising:
- at least one processor configured to implement a method comprising;
deriving a Master Session Key (MSK) using a secret key and at least one parameter obtained from an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) sequence;
deriving a first Pairwise Master Key (PMK) and a second PMK from the MSK;
authenticating with a home gateway (HG) using the first PMK; and
authenticating with an end point using the second PMK.

Abstract
A network component comprising at least one processor configured to implement a method comprising deriving a Master Session Key (MSK) using a secret key and at least one parameter obtained from an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) sequence, deriving a first Pairwise Master Key (PMK) and a second PMK from the MSK, authenticating with a home gateway (HG) using the first PMK, and authenticating with an end point using the second PMK. Included is an apparatus comprising a node comprising an access controller (AC) and a protocol for carrying authentication for network access (PANA) Authentication Agent (PAA), wherein the AC is configured to manage authentication for a UE, and wherein the PAA is configured to implement a PANA to forward authentication information related to the UE.
