Using EAP-TLS with TLS 1.3
draft-ietf-emu-eap-tls13-14
Abstract
The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), defined in RFC 3748,
provides a standard mechanism for support of multiple authentication
methods. This document specifies the use of EAP-Transport Layer
Security (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. EAP-TLS with TLS 1.3 further
improves security and privacy by always providing forward secrecy,
never disclosing the peer identity, and by mandating use of
revocation checking. This document also provides guidance on
authorization and resumption for EAP-TLS in general (regardless of
the underlying TLS version used). This document updates RFC 5216.
