Re: [Emu] Impersonation and Lying NAS problem: two distinctissues (with different solutions)

"Based on this, impersonation issue seems to overlap with channel binding or lying NAS issue."

RFC 3748 Section 7.15 describes the distinction between the two problems:

"
   Section 4.3.7 of [RFC3579] describes how an EAP pass-through
authenticator acting as a AAA client can be detected if it attempts
to impersonate another authenticator (such by sending incorrect NAS-
Identifier [RFC2865], NAS-IP-Address [RFC2865] or NAS-IPv6-Address
[RFC3162] attributes via the AAA protocol). However, it is possible
for a pass-through authenticator acting as a AAA client to provide
correct information to the AAA server while communicating misleading
information to the EAP peer via a lower layer protocol.
