Title : Protocol Model for TLS with EAP Authentication
Author(s) : Y. Nir, et al.
Filename : draft-nir-tee-pm-00.txt
Pages :
Date : 2007-2-23
This document describes an extension to the TLS protocol to allow TLS
clients to authenticate with legacy credentials using the Extensible
Authentication Protocol (EAP).
This work follows the example of IKEv2, where EAP has been added to
the IKEv2 protocol to allow clients to use different credentials such
as passwords, token cards, and shared secrets.
When TLS is used with EAP, additional records are sent after the
ChangeCipherSpec protocol message, effectively creating an extended
handshake before the application layer data can be sent. Each EapMsg
handshake record contains exactly one EAP message. Using EAP for
client authentication allows TLS to be used with various AAA back-end
servers such as RADIUS or Diameter.
TLS with EAP may be used for securing a data connection such as HTTP
or POP3, where the ability of EAP to work with backend servers can
remove that burden from the application layer.
This document is a protocol model, rather than a full protocol
specification.

In the body type:

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.
