                       Using EAP-TLS with TLS 1.3
                      draft-ietf-emu-eap-tls13-00

Abstract

   This document specifies the use of EAP-TLS with TLS 1.3 while
   remaining backwards compatible with existing implementations of EAP-
   TLS.  TLS 1.3 provides significantly improved security, privacy, and
   reduced latency when compared to earlier versions of TLS.  This
   document updates RFC 5216.

1.  Introduction

   The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), defined in [RFC3748],
   provides a standard mechanism for support of multiple authentication
   methods.  EAP-Transport Layer Security (EAP-TLS) [RFC5216] specifies
   an EAP authentication method with certificate-based mutual
   authentication and key derivation utilizing the TLS handshake
   protocol for cryptographic algorithms and protocol version
   negotiation, mutual authentication, and establishment of shared
   secret keying material.  EAP-TLS is widely supported for
   authentication in IEEE 802.11 [IEEE-802.11] networks (Wi-Fi) using
   IEEE 802.1X [IEEE-802.1X] and it's the default mechanism for
   certificate based authentication in MulteFire [MulteFire] and 3GPP 5G
   [TS.33.501] networks.  EAP-TLS [RFC5216] references TLS 1.0 [RFC2246]
