A system and method for authenticating a peer device onto a network using Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). The key lifetime associated with the keying material generated in the peer device and the authentication server is communicated from the authenticator to the peer device within the EAP Success message. The peer device, having been provided with the key lifetime, can anticipate the termination of its authenticated session and initiate re-authentication prior to expiry of the key lifetime.

La durée de vie du code associé au matériel, produit dans le dispositif homologue et dans le serveur d'identification est communiquée par l'authentifieur au dispositif homologue dans un message EAP de réussite. Le dispositif homologue, ayant obtenu la durée de vie du code peut prévoir la fin de sa session authentifiée et lancer une réauthentification avant l'expiration de la durée de vie du code.
