Technical Summary
This document defines the Tunnel Extensible Authentication Protocol
(TEAP) version 1. TEAP is a tunnel-based EAP method that enables
secure communication between a peer and a server by using the
Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol to establish a mutually
authenticated tunnel. Within the tunnel, TLV objects are used to
convey authentication-related data between the EAP peer and the EAP
server. This document obsoletes RFC 7170.
