Key Scoping
AAA context is associated with a key
Default scope for a AAA-Key is within a NAS
AAA protocols authenticate at NAS granularity
Diameter, RADIUS don’t use the NAS Called-Station-Id as its identity
Key is scoped to the physical NAS; can’t assume separate key cache for each “virtual NAS”, Called-station-Id, SSID, etc.
Client may not be able to recognize NAS scope without assistance from the lower layer
In IEEE 802.11 only the BSSID is announced in the Beacon/Probe Response, not the NAS-Identifier
