Abstract:
Techniques are described for wireless communication. A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE) includes performing an extensible authentication protocol (EAP) procedure with an authentication server via an authenticator. The EAP procedure is based at least in part on a set of authentication credentials exchanged between the UE and the authentication server. The method also includes deriving, as part of performing the EAP procedure, a master session key (MSK) and an extended master session key (EMSK) that are based at least in part on the authentication credentials and a first set of parameters; determining a network type associated with the authenticator; and performing, based at least in part on the determined network type, at least one authentication procedure with the authenticator. The at least one authentication procedure is based on an association of the MSK or the EMSK with the determined network type.
