Charter

DIME working group

The charter of the DIME working group is reported below.
The Diameter Maintanence and Extensions WG will focus on maintenance and extensions to the Diameter protocol required to enable its use in applications such as IP telephony and Local Area Network authentication, authorization and accounting.

The IETF has recently completed work on the Diameter Base protocol. There is on-going work on defining RADIUS extensions. The work done in the DiME WG will ensure that work done in RADext is also available for Diameter.

The immediate goals of the DiME working group are to address the following issues:

- Maintaining and/or progressing, along the standards track, the Diameter procotol and Diameter Applications. Every revised document to be "maintained" requires explicit approval before it will be accepted as a WG document.

- An informational RFC on a Diameter API.

- Diameter Application design guidelines. This document will provide guidelines for design of new Diameter Applications. It will detail when to consider reusing an existing application and when to develop a new application. Interaction between vendor & SDO specific extensions and applications will be covered.

- Diameter QoS application. This document will develop a new Diameter application for supporting QoS in AAA deployments. The NSIS WG will be consulted on proper design of QoS attributes.

- Diameter URI. RFC 3588 defines an AAA URI which has some known problems. A document revising the AAA URI as a specific Diameter URI will be developed.

- Diameter extensions for MIPv6. This may include support for Mobile IP extensions, like FMIP; as well as support for MIP bootstrapping.

Additionally, AAA systems require interoperability in order to work. Uncontrolled extensibility is not a mechanism for interoperability. Therefore, the working group, along with the AD, will need to evaluate any potential extensions and require verification that the proposed extension is needed. Coordination with other IETF working groups and other SDOs will used to ensure this.

Diameter Mobile IPv6: Support for Network Access Server to Diameter Server Interaction
A Mobile IPv6 node requires a home agent address, a home address, and a security association with its home agent before it can start utilizing Mobile IPv6. RFC 3775 requires that some or all of these parameters are statically configured. Mobile IPv6 bootstrapping work aims to make this information dynamically available to the Mobile Node. An important aspect of the Mobile IPv6 bootstrapping solution is to support interworking with existing authentication, authorization and accounting infrastructure. This document describes the MIPv6 bootstrapping using the Diameter Network Access Server (NAS) to home Authentication, Authorization and Accounting server (HAAA) interface.

Diameter Applications Design Guidelines
The Diameter Base protocol provides updated rules on how to extend Diameter by modifying and/or deriving from existing applications or creating entirely new applications. This is a companion document to the Diameter Base protocol that further explains and clarifies these rules. It is meant as a guidelines document and therefore it does not add, remove or change existing rules.

Diameter Mobile IPv6: Support for Home Agent to Diameter Server Interaction
Mobile IPv6 deployments may want to bootstrap their operations dynamically based on an interaction between the Home Agent and the Diameter server of the Mobile Service Provider (MSP). This document specifies the interaction between a Mobile IP Home Agent and that Diameter server.

Several different mechanisms for authenticating a Mobile Node are supported. The usage of the Internet Key Exchange v2 (IKEv2) protocol allows different mechanisms, such as the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), certificates and pre-shared secrets to be used. Furthermore, another method makes use of the Mobile IPv6 Authentication Protocol. In addition to authentication and authorization, the configuration of Mobile IPv6 specific parameters and accounting is specified in this document.

Auditing Functionality in Diameter
Diameter is being increasingly included in the work of other standards organizations and has become a key protocol in many architectures. One of the uses of Diameter includes setting and maintaining hard-state and soft-state during failover and in the event of delayed refresh messages respectively. Often there is a need to query for information on active sessions for backup or synchronization purposes.

Diameter User-Name and Realm Based Request Routing Clarifications
This specification clarifies the Diameter realm based request routing. We focus on the case where a Network Access Identifier in the User-Name AVP is used to populate the Destination-Realm AVP and the Network Access Identifier contains more than one realm. This particular case is possible when the Network Access Identifier decoration is used to force a routing of request messages through a predefined list of realms. However, this functionality is not unambiguously specified in the Diameter Base Protocol specification.

Diameter Proxy Mobile IPv6: Support For Mobility Access Gateway and Local Mobility Anchor to Diameter Server Interaction
This specification defines the Diameter support for the Proxy Mobile IPv6 and the corresponding mobility service session setup. The policy information needed by the Proxy Mobile IPv6 is defined in mobile node's policy profile, which could be downloaded from the Diameter server to the Mobile Access Gateway once the mobile node roams into a Proxy Mobile IPv6 Domain and performs access authentication. The access authentication procedure of the Proxy Mobile IPv6 Domain resembles the Mobile IPv6 integrated scenario bootstrapping. Rather than defining a completely new set of attributes or a new Diameter application this specification leverages the work that has already been done for the Mobile IPv6 bootstrapping.

Diameter Application for Authentication and Authorization in Web Applications
This document specifies the Diameter Application for Authentication and Authorization in Web Applications (Diameter WebAuth). This Diameter application is intended to be used by Diameter clients to perform authentication and authorization operations with a Diameter server in web-based environments. It provides facilities to allow web sites to authenticate their web user clients using a number of (HTTP) authentication schemes. In addition, it supports user authorization using dedicated service identifiers. Diameter WebAuth may also be used by non web-based Diameter clients and servers that require a lightweight authentication and authorization Diameter application.
