Issue 2: Downgrading Protection
Issue:
EAP allows negotiation of an EAP method between authenticator and peer. This mechanism is vulnerable to downgrading attacks.
Discussion:
Providing downgrading protection in PANA is not good since an EAP server may not be co-located with PAA
EAP method negotiation is not performed by PANA, so this is an EAP issue
Resolution:
Text incorporated in Security Considerations section
Recommendation of using EAP-GSSAPI to negotiate an EAP method
