<t>A bootstrapping device holds a public / private elliptic curve (EC) key pair
which this document refers to as a Bootstrap Key (BSK). The private key of the B
SK is known only by the device. The public key of the BSK is known by the device
, is known by the owner or holder of the device, and is provisioned on the TLS s
erver by the TLS server operator. In order to establish trust and mutually authe
nticate, the TLS server proves to the device that it knows the public part of th
e BSK, and the device proves to the TLS server that it knows the private part of
the BSK. More details on the BSK are given in <xref target="bootstrap-key"/>.</

<t>The TLS server could be an EAP server for <xref target="IEEE802.1X"></xref> n

<t>This document defines a bootstrapping mechanism that results in a certificate
being provisioned on a device that can be used for subsequent EAP authenticatio

vice is required. The only EAP method that currently supports provisioning of a
certificate on a device is TEAP, therefore this document assumes that TEAP is th
e only supported EAP method. Section <xref target="using-tls-bootstrapping-in-ea

<section anchor="bootstrap-key"><name>Bootstrap Key</name>
<t>The mechanism for device on-boarding defined in this document relies on an el
liptic curve (EC) bootstrap key (BSK). This BSK <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> be from a cr
yptosystem suitable for doing ECDSA. A bootstrapping client device has an associ
ated EC BSK. The BSK may be static and baked into device firmware at manufacturi
ng time, or may be dynamic and generated at on-boarding time by the device. The
BSK public key <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> be encoded as the DER representation of an AS
N.1 SEQUENCE SubjectPublicKeyInfo from <xref target="RFC5480"/>. The subjectPubl
icKey <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> be the compressed format of the public key. Note that
the BSK public key encoding <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> include the ASN.1 AlgorithmIdent
ifier in addition to the subjectPublicKey. If the BSK public key can be shared i
n a trustworthy manner with a TLS server, a form of "entity authentication" (the
step from which all subsequent authentication proceeds) can be obtained.</t>
<t>The exact mechanism by which the TLS server gains knowledge of the BSK public
key is out of scope of this specification, but possible mechanisms include scan
ning a QR code to obtain a base64 encoding of the DER representation of the ASN.
1 SubjectPublicKeyInfo or uploading of a Bill of Materials (BOM) which includes
this information. More information on QR encoding is given in <xref target="alig
nment-with-wi-fi-alliance-device-provisioning-profile"/>. If the QR code is phys
ically attached to the client device, or the BOM is associated with the device,
the assumption is that the BSK public key obtained in this bootstrapping method
belongs to the client. In this model, physical possession of the device implies
legitimate ownership of the device.</t>
<t>The TLS server may have knowledge of multiple BSK public keys corresponding t
o multiple devices, and existing TLS mechanisms are leveraged that enable the se
rver to identify a specific bootstrap public key corresponding to a specific dev
ice.</t>
<t>Using the process defined herein, the client proves to the TLS server that it
has possession of the private key of its BSK. Provided that the mechanism in wh
ich the server obtained the BSK public key is trustworthy, a commensurate amount
of authenticity of the resulting connection can be obtained. The server also pr
oves that it knows the client's BSK public key which, if the client does not gra
tuitously expose its public key, can be used to obtain a modicum of correctness,
that the client is connecting to the correct server (see <xref target="duckling
"></xref>).</t>
<section anchor="alignment-with-wi-fi-alliance-device-provisioning-profile"><nam
e>Alignment with Wi-Fi Alliance Device Provisioning Profile</name>
<t>The definition of the BSK public key aligns with <xref target="DPP"></xref>.
This, for example, enables the QR code format as defined in <xref target="DPP"><
/xref> to be reused for TLS-POK. Therefore, a device that supports both wired LA
N and Wi-Fi LAN connections can have a single QR code printed on its label, or d
ynamically display a single QR code on a display, and the bootstrap key can be u
sed for DPP if the device bootstraps against a Wi-Fi network, or TLS-POK if the
device bootstraps against a wired network. Similarly, a common bootstrap public
key format could be imported into a BOM into a server that handles devices conne
cting over both wired and Wi-Fi networks.</t>
<t><xref target="DPP"></xref>, and therefore TLS-POK, does not support the use o

</author>
<date day="4" month="September" year="2025"/>
<abstract>
<t> This document defines the eap.arpa. domain for use only in Network
Access Identifiers (NAIs) as a way for Extensible Authentication
Protocol (EAP) peers to signal to EAP servers that they wish to
obtain limited, and unauthenticated, network access. EAP peers
signal which kind of access is required via certain predefined
identifiers which use the Network Access Identifier (NAI) format of
RFC 7542. A table of identifiers and meanings is defined, which
includes entries for RFC 9140.
This document updates RFC5216 and RFC9190 to define an
unauthenticated provisioning method. Those specifications suggested
that such a method has possible, but they did not define how it would
be done. This document also updates RFC9140 to deprecate &quot;eap-
noob.arpa&quot;, and replace it with &quot;@noob.eap.arpa&quot;

<t>This document defines the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), an
authentication framework which supports multiple authentication methods. EAP typ
ically runs directly over data link layers such as Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)
or IEEE 802, without requiring IP. EAP provides its own support for duplicate e
limination and retransmission, but is reliant on lower layer ordering guarantees
. Fragmentation is not supported within EAP itself; however, individual EAP meth
ods may support this. This document obsoletes RFC 2284. A summary of the changes
between this document and RFC 2284 is available in Appendix A. [STANDARDS-TRACK
