5. IANA Considerations

RFC 9965 updates .ARPA Zone Management and creates the EAP Provisioning Identifiers registry.

5.1. .arpa Updates​

The eap-noob.arpa entry is marked (DEPRECATED) and gains a reference to RFC 9965.

DOMAIN:  eap.arpa
USAGE/REFERENCE:  For provisioning within the Extensible
   Authentication Protocol framework.  RFC 9965

Name:  eap.arpa.
Reference:  RFC 9965

DNS servers SHOULD return NXDOMAIN for eap.arpa. domain queries. IANA is instructed to refuse future direct .ARPA Zone Management allocations for EAP-related functionality; such allocations should use the EAP Provisioning Identifiers registry.

5.2. EAP Provisioning Identifiers Registry​

Title:  EAP Provisioning Identifiers
Registration Procedure(s):  Expert Review
Reference:  RFC 9965
NAI:  The Network Access Identifier in the format described in RFC 7542.
Method Type:  The EAP method name from the Method Types registry.
Reference:  Reference where this identifier was defined.
      +=====================+=============+========================+
      | NAI                 | Method Type | Reference              |
      +=====================+=============+========================+
      | @noob.eap.arpa      | EAP-NOOB    | [RFC9140] and RFC 9965 |
      +---------------------+-------------+------------------------+
      | [email protected] | EAP-TLS     | [RFC9190] and RFC 9965 |
      +---------------------+-------------+------------------------+

NAIs MUST satisfy RFC 7542 Section 2.2. The username MAY be empty, MUST NOT be anonymous, and the NAI MUST be within the eap.arpa realm. NAIs with any v. subdomain MUST NOT be registered; v. is reserved for vendor and SDO extensions. Registry entries MUST be lowercase and unique when compared case-insensitively.

Method Type values MUST come from the Method Types registry or be an Expanded Type. The method MUST provide MSK and EMSK. Designated expert review includes EMU WG review and a 30-day decision window.
