One thought on “Which EAP method uses Protected Access Credentials?”
EAP-FAST is an EAP method that enables secure communication between a client and an authentication server by using Transport Layer Security (TLS) to establish a mutually authenticated tunnel. Within the tunnel, data in the form of type, length, and value (TLV) objects are used to send further authentication-related data between the client and the authentication server.
EAP-FAST supports the TLS extension as defined in RFC 4507 to support the fast reestablishment of the secure tunnel without having to maintain per-session state on the server.
EAP-FAST-based mechanisms are defined to provision the credentials for the TLS extension.
These credentials are called Protected Access Credentials (PACs).
