The PANA (Protocol for carrying Authentication for Network Access)  
working group is developing protocol for authenticating clients to  
the access network using IP based protocols.  The PANA protocol  
authenticates the client and also establishes a PANA security  
association between the PANA client and PANA authentication agent at  
the end of a successful authentication. But it does not specify any  
mechanism for preventing service theft. This document discusses the  
details for establishing an IPsec security association for securing 
the link between PANA client and the enforcement point, which can be  
used to prevent service theft.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
