Extensible Authentication Protocol, or EAP, a universal authentication
framework frequently used in wireless networks and Point-to-Point
connections defined by RFC 3748. EAP provides some common functions
and a negotiation of the desired authentication methods, two of which are
EAP-MD5 and EAP-TLS. When EAP is invoked by an 802.1X enabled NAS
(Network Access Server) device such as an 802.11 a/b/g Wireless Access
Point, modern EAP methods provide a secure authentication mechanism
and negotiate a secure PMK (Pair-wise Master Key) between the client and
the NAS.
