-               Osmocom Authentication Protocol (OAP)
-
-1. General
-
-The Osmocom Authentication Protocol employs mutual authentication to register a
-client with a server over an IPA connection. Milenage is used as the
-authentication algorithm, where client and server have a shared secret.
-
-For example, an SGSN, as OAP client, may use its SGSN ID to register with a MAP
-proxy, an OAP server.
-
-1.1. Connection
-
-The protocol expects that a reliable, ordered, packet boundaries preserving
-connection is used (e.g. IPA over TCP).
-
-1.2. Using IPA
-
-By default, the following identifiers should be used:
-  - IPA protocol: 0xee (OSMO)
-  - IPA OSMO protocol extension: 0x06 (OAP)
-
-2. Procedures
-
-Ideal communication sequence:

-     |<-----------------------------------|
-
-2.1. Register
-
-The client sends a REGISTER_REQ message containing an identifier number.
-
-2.2. Challenge
-
-The OAP server (optionally) sends back a CHALLENGE_REQ, containing random bytes
-and a milenage authentication token generated from these random bytes, using a
-shared secret, to authenticate itself to the OAP client. The server may omit
-this challenge entirely, based on its configuration, and immediately reply with
-a Register Result response. If the client cannot be registered (e.g. id is
-invalid), the server sends a REGISTER_ERR response.
-
-2.3. Challenge Result
-
-When the client has received a Challenge, it may verify the server's
-authenticity and validity of the sequence number (included in AUTN), and, if
-valid, reply with a CHALLENGE_RES message. This shall contain an XRES
-authentication token generated by milenage from the same random bytes received
-from the server and the same shared secet. If the client decides to cancel the
-registration (e.g. invalid AUTN), it shall not reply to the CHALLENGE_REQ; a
-CHALLENGE_ERR message may be sent, but is not mandatory. For example, the
-client may directly start with a new REGISTER_REQ message.
-
-2.4. Sync Request
-
-When the client has received a Challenge but sees an invalid sequence number
-(embedded in AUTN, according to the milenage algorithm), the client may send a
-SYNC_REQ message containing an AUTS synchronisation token.
-
-2.5. Sync Result
-
-If the server has received a valid Sync Request, it shall answer by directly
-sending another Challenge (see 2.2.). If an invalid Sync Request is received,
-the server shall reply with a REGISTER_ERR message.
-
-2.6. Register Result
-
-The server sends a REGISTER_RES message to indicate that registration has been
-successful. If the server cannot register the client (e.g. invalid challenge
-response), it shall send a REGISTER_ERR message.
-
