Protocol Overview – Salient Points
Handover Master Key (HMK) Derivation
Done using EAP AMSK at time of power-up or first network access
As defined in the EAP Key Management Framework
HMK derived at the MN and AAA (EAP) Server
Not transported anywhere else

Handover Key (HK) Derivation
HK = HMAC-SHA1(HMK, AR ID | MN ID | AAA-MN Nonce, “Handover Key”)
HK derived with each AR
HK may be derived with target ARs through current AR (i.e., pre-authentication before handoff)
When AR list is available through proxy router advertisements or L2
Useful when MN changes subnets rather quickly
Lifetime value provided by AAA server; enforced by AR and MN
MN verifies HK with AR after handoff if pre-authentication was used
Used to bind HK to CoA of MN and to verify key is valid at AR
Need not be a “MUST” if an SPI can be used in the FBU
