Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) K. Hoeper Request for Comments: 6678 Motorola Solutions, Inc. Category: Informational S. Hanna ISSN: 2070-1721 Juniper Networks H. Zhou J. Salowey, Ed. Cisco Systems, Inc. July 2012 Requirements for a Tunnel-Based Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) Method Abstract This memo defines the requirements for a tunnel-based Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) Method. This tunnel method will use Transport Layer Security (TLS) to establish a secure tunnel. The tunnel will provide support for password authentication, EAP authentication, and the transport of additional data for other purposes.
