Technical Summary
This document defines the Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling
EAP authentication method, commonly called EAP-FAST, which enables
secure communication between a client and a server by using the EAP
based Transport Layer Security (EAP-TLS) to establish a mutually
authenticated tunnel. Unlike current existing tunneled authentication
protocols, EAP-FAST also enables the establishment of a mutually
authenticated tunnel by means of symmetric cryptography. Furthermore,
within the secure tunnel, EAP encapsulated methods can be used to
either facilitate further provision of credentials, authentication, or
authorization policies by the server to the client.
