Abstract

This document specifies an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) mechanism for mutual authentication and session key generation in a roaming environment. The server authentication and the negotiation of the session key is done using the PPP EAP Transport Layer Security Authentication Protocol. The user authenticates using a SASL mechanism, the SASL authentication being protected by TLS. An important application discussed in this document is to provide a strong form of authentication of access points and stations within an IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), but other applications such as LAN access over Bluetooth might also be considered in the future.
