The RADIUS protocol defined in RFC 2865 has limited support for
authentication and encryption of RADIUS packets.  The protocol
transports data in the clear, although some parts of the packets can
have obfuscated content.  Packets may be replayed verbatim by an
attacker, and client-server authentication is based on fixed shared
secrets.  This document specifies how the Datagram Transport Layer
Security (DTLS) protocol may be used as a fix for these problems.  It
also describes how implementations of this proposal can coexist with
current RADIUS systems.

This document is a product of the RADIUS EXTensions Working Group of the IETF.
