Abstract


   This document specifies an authentication service that uses the
   Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) transported employing
   Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) messages.  As such, it
   defines an EAP lower layer based on CoAP called CoAP-EAP.  One of the
   main goals is to authenticate a CoAP-enabled IoT device (EAP peer)
   that intends to join a security domain managed by a Controller (EAP
   authenticator).  Secondly, it allows deriving key material to protect
   CoAP messages exchanged between them based on Object Security for
   Constrained RESTful Environments (OSCORE), enabling the establishment
   of a security association between them.
