The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), defined in RFC 2284,
provides for support of multiple authentication methods. While EAP was
originally created for use with PPP, it has since been adopted for use
with IEEE 802.1X 'Network Port Authentication'.
Since its deployment, a number of weaknesses in EAP have become
apparent. These include the lack of protection for, and acknowledgement
of Success and Failure messages.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-hiller-eap-tlv-00.txt".
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.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
