Crypto-agility requirements: Forward Secrecy concern (from Issue 303)



Forward secrecy:

Sometimes RADIUS is used to deliver keys (like EAP MSK) that will be
used (perhaps indirectly via additional key derivation steps) to
encrypt information that may be valuable for a long time. Given this,
the document needs some discussion about "forward secrecy" (whether
revealing the long-term credential allows decrypting all past
communications), and if the conclusion is that crypto-agility
solutions don't need to support forward secrecy (even as
optional-to-use feature), explain the rationale behind this
conclusion.
