Hello,

We have submitted new versions of EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA 
(draft-haverinen-pppext-eap-sim-12.txt and draft-arkko-pppext-eap-aka-11.txt)
to the IETF directories. They should be available shortly.

The drafts contain some technical changes, but we expect implementations
of these versions to be compatible with implementations of older
versions. The changes are mostly based on Glen Zorn's review
and comments from Pasi Eronen, Tom Porcher, and Michael Richardson.
Many thanks to all who have commented and contributed.

There are no open issues with the drafts.

EAP-SIM version 12:
- new behaviour in error cases. Instead of silent discard, explicit error 
  packets are sent.
- new error case: if peer thinks that RANDs are not fresh it sends
  an error packet to terminate the exchange.
- server must use at least two triplets 
- example packets in Annex A added
- Username decoration considerations
- NAI realm portion not mandated anymore
- clarifications on the cases when the server can re-use triplets and when
  it must obtain fresh triplets. Triplets can only be re-used in certain
  unsuccessful cases.
- AT_CHECKCODE removed
- new document structure and a lot of editorial improvements

EAP-AKA version 11:
- new behaviour in error cases. Instead of silent discard, explicit error 
  packets are sent.
- Username decoration considerations
- NAI realm portion not mandated anymore
- new document structure and a lot of editorial improvements

Best regards,
Henry
