3. 802.21a Call For Proposals Scope of proposals Work Item #1: Mechanisms to reduce the latency during authentication and key establishment for handovers between heterogeneous access networks that support IEEE 802.21 Work Item #2: Mechanisms to provide data integrity, replay protection, confidentiality and data origin authentication to IEEE 802.21 MIH protocol exchanges and enable authorization for MIH services Proposals must be submitted to 802.21 Document Repository (https://mentor.ieee.org/802.21/documents)https://mentor.ieee.org/802.21/documents Group: Security Document Title: TGa_Proposal_Firstname_Lastname (e.g.,TGa_Proposal_Yoshihiro_Ohba) Submission Deadline: May 3 rd (Sun), 2009, end of day AOE (Anywhere On Earth) After the submission deadline, no new revision of proposal is allowed until the end of May meeting For questions, please contact to Yoshihiro Ohba, Chair of 802.21a Task Group 21-09-0044-00-0sec3

4. Proposal Presentation & Down-Selection Process The proposal presentation & down-selection process addresses the following issues: 1)giving enough buffer time between presentations in order to work out details and build consensus 2)providing material to group ahead of time to allow for more thorough review and allow focused discussion 3)having a rule to select suitable and proper proposals after three times of proposal presentations 21-09-0044-00-0sec4

5. Timeline 21-09-0044-00-0sec Harmonization Draft Standard Text is contributed to 802.21a draft standard Call for Proposal (March 2009) Presentation & Down-Selection (November 2009) Proposals with Draft Text must be submitted 2-week prior to meeting Proposal Presentation I (May 2009) Proposals must be submitted 1-week prior to meeting Down-Selection fails Regrouping Harmonization Proposal Presentation III (September 2009) Proposals with detailed text must be submitted 1-week prior to meeting Proposal Presentation II (July 2009) Proposals with detailed text must be submitted 1-week prior to meeting Harmonization Down-Selection succeeds 5

6. Proposal Presentation 1. Proposals are made available one week prior to presentation time in order to allow for sufficient review time 2. No draft text needed at Proposal Presentation I, but detailed text is needed at Proposal Presentations II and III 3. Each proposal should use security TR document (21-08-0172-02-0sec) as design guidelines and requirements 4. Each proposal should follow the proposal guidelines (see Slides 12 – 17) 5. A proposal may cover work item #1 or #2 or both A submitter may submit separate proposal(s) for each work item 6. A procedural motion may take place at the end of a presentation in Proposal Presentations I and II in order to provide feedback on a proposal Any revised proposal for Proposal Presentations II and III should address the received feedback, comments 7. New proposal is allowed in Proposal Presentation II, only if It is extension of presentation in Proposal Presentation I, or It addresses (part of) work item not yet already covered or presented in proposal presentation I but described in TR document 8. Only revised proposals are allowed and No new proposal is allowed in Proposal Presentation III 21-09-0044-00-0sec6

7. Proposal Presentation (contd) Revised Proposal An updated proposal that captures any comments/feedbacks received during its earlier presentation New Proposal The proposal which is either –an extension (with entirely new thoughts e.g to capture any newly agreed requirement captured during previous presentation) of presentation in earlier Proposal Presentation, or – it addresses (part of) work item not yet already covered or presented in proposal presentation I but listed in the TR document or Proposal Characterization List 21-09-0044-00-0sec7

8. Presentation & Down-Selection 21-09-0044-00-0sec8 1.Authors provide Draft Text for review two weeks prior to presentation 2.Written questions for clarifications to be submitted to the Task Group one week in advance Answers to these questions submitted within 3 days thereafter 3.A technical motion to approve Draft Text provided by the proposal and make it part of the IEEE 802.21a draft specification is brought forward to the TG at presentation time 4.A proposal containing multiple components can lead to multiple motions 5.Authors must indicate at presentation time how many motions they intend to bring forward to the TG 6.All motions are carried out at the end of all presentations 7.Time allocated for presentations and motions is advertised in the opening meeting 8.A technical motion at Down-Selection requires 75% to pass 9.One member can vote on multiple motions

9. Presentation & Down-Selection (contd) 10. In case no motion passes by 75%, the proposal receiving the most number of votes is selected for another round of confirmation vote by the TG More than one proposal can be selected at this stage in case the most popular proposal does not cover all work items specified in the CFP Proposals are selected in decreasing order of popularity (# votes) received If this confirmation vote fails, Proposal(s) are broken up into several technical items and TG votes on each technical item 11. In case multiple proposals are approved by more than 75% they are integrated into the Draft Text Proposers work with the Editing Committee which consists of the Editor and the TG Chair in order to combine proposals Conflict and overlaps are brought back to the TG to vote on Failed proposals are eliminated from further consideration 12. In case no proposal is approved at the end of Down-Selection, the TG may need to regroup. The options include (1) refining the requirements document, (2) refining the evaluation and down- selection criteria, (3) reissuing a new call for proposals 21-09-0044-00-0sec9

10. Down-Selection Flowchart 21-09-0044-00-0sec10 TG vote on all proposals available Proposal(s)* getting highest votes are subject to TG confirmation vote Proposal(s) are broken up into several technical items; TG votes on each technical item Options are provided for each overlap area; TG votes on options available for overlap 75% Approval? Any proposal gets 75% Approval ? Yes No Inclusion in draft specifications Authors work w/ Editing Committee to integrate text into draft specifications No Yes Any contentious overlap**? Option gets 75% Approval? Yes No Elimination from further consideration No Technical item gets 75% Approval? Yes No *There could be several proposals under consideration in order to cover different work items **Overlap is identified by Editing Committee, TG participants, and/or proposers; contention in resolving overlap is brought to TG for vote.

11. General Presentation Rule 1.Proposals are categorized into the three groups Presentation Group 1: Work Item #1 Presentation Group 2: Work Item #2 Presentation Group 3: Work Items #1 and #2 combined 2. Presentation order is random within each Presentation Group as determined by the TG Chair 3. Time allocated to each presentation is evenly distributed among all presentations in the same Presentation Group 21-09-0044-00-0sec11

12. Proposal Guidelines 21-09-0044-00-0sec12

13. Remark The purpose of Proposal Guidelines is to help submitters to make a good proposal so that it can convince the group to adopt it. The Proposal Guidelines shall not limit creative ideas and proposals. A proposal will not be disqualified for not following the Proposal Guidelines. On the other hand, a proposal is unlikely to be adopted if it cannot be evaluated or cannot fit in 802.21. 1321-09-0044-00-0sec

14. Proposal Guideline - Proposal Characterization List Each presentation is expected to contain a Proposal Characterization List to help characterizing the proposal Please refer to security TR document (21-08-0172-02-0sec) to create a Proposal Characterization List 21-09-0044-00-0sec14 Work Item # Supported FunctionalityReference to TR section(s) Note 1Proactive Re-Authentication2.3.3 1EAP Pre-authentication2.3.2 1Key Hierarchy and Derivation 12.3.3.1 1Higher-Layer Transport for MN-CA, MN-SA and SA- CA signaling 2.3.2.3 1Link-Layer Transport for MN-SA signaling2.3.2.3 1Authenticator Discovery Mechanism2.3.2.3, 2.3.3.4 1Context Binding Mechanism2.3.2.3, 2.3.3.4 2Access Authentication3.6.1 2MIH-Specific Authentication3.6.2 2Key Hierarchy and Derivation 23 2MIH-Specific Protection3.6.1.1, 3.6.2.1 2Protection by MIH Transport Protocol3.6.1.2, 3.6.2.2 2Visited Domain Access3.6.3.1Visited MIH services have the same security policies An Example Proposal Characterization List

15. Proposal Guideline – Refer to 802.21 Each proposal is expected to make a clear reference to 802.21 with regard to 802.21 entities: If a new 802.21 entity is introduced for proposed security solutions, then address the relation, location, and interface with other 802.21 entities. Reference points: if new reference point(s) are introduced, then define and identify the reference point(s) w.r.t the MIHF communication model specified in the 802.21 spec. Data fields: if for protected messages, new data fields are introduced, then specify them in 802.21 data format. 21-09-0044-00-0sec15

16. Proposal Guideline – Assumptions If a proposal relies on assumptions which are not described in the 802.21 standard, then explicitly state them to avoid any confusion and long debate, for example, if a proposal relies on transport protocols to apply security protection for MIH information, then include the transport protocols and security protections assumed for the protocols; if AAA server is employed, then state it; If a cryptographic key is used, then state how the key is established, etc 21-09-0044-00-0sec16

17. Proposal Guideline – Rationale Provide clear rationale and discussions about the proposed content to help the evaluation and acceptance. This may include but not limited to: Security objectives; Attacks to protect against; Security performance tradeoffs; Comparisons with other solutions, if any; Current standards (re-use); Etc. 21-09-0044-00-0sec17
