EAP- FAST
EAP- FAST, like EAP- TTLS and PEAP, uses t unneling t o prot ect t raffic. The m ain difference is t hat
EAP- FAST does not use cert ificat es t o aut hent icat e.
Provisioning in EAP- FAST is negot iat ed solely by t he client as t he first com m unicat ion exchange
when EAP- FAST is request ed from t he server. I f t he client does not have a pre- shared secret
Prot ect ed Access Credent ial ( PAC) , it can request t o init iat e a provisioning EAP- FAST exchange
t o dynam ically obt ain one from t he server.
EAP- FAST docum ent s t wo m et hods t o deliver t he PAC: m anual delivery t hrough an out - of - band
secure m echanism , and aut om at ic provisioning.
Manual delivery m echanism s can be any delivery m echanism t hat t he adm inist rat or of t he

Aut om at ic provisioning est ablishes an encrypt ed t unnel t o prot ect t he aut hent icat ion of

as a m anual m et hod m ay be, is m ore secure t han t he aut hent icat ion m et hod used in
LEAP.
The EAP- FAST m et hod can be divided int o t wo part s: provisioning, and aut hent icat ion. The
provisioning phase involves t he init ial delivery of t he PAC t o t he client . This phase only needs t o
be perform ed once per client and user.
EAP- GTC
The EAP- GTC ( Generic Token Card) is sim ilar t o t he EAP- OTP except wit h hardware t oken cards.
The request cont ains a displayable m essage, and t he response cont ains t he st ring read from t he
hardware t oken card.
EAP- OTP
EAP- OTP ( One - Tim e Password) is sim ilar t o MD5, except it uses t he OTP as t he response. The
request cont ains a displayable m essage. The OTP m et hod is defined in RFC 2289.
EAP- SI M
Ext ensible Aut hent icat ion Prot ocol- Subscriber I dent it y Module ( EAP- SI M) aut hent icat ion can be
used wit h:
Net work Aut hent icat ion t ypes: Open, Shared, and WPA* - Ent erprise, WPA2* - Ent erprise.

A SI M card is a special sm art card t hat is used by Global Syst em for Mobile Com m unicat ions
( GSM) based digit al cellular net works. The SI M card is used t o validat e your credent ials wit h t he

EAP- TLS
A t ype of aut hent icat ion m et hod t hat uses EAP and a securit y prot ocol called t he Transport
Layer Securit y ( TLS) . EAP- TLS uses cert ificat es t hat use passwords. EAP- TLS aut hent icat ion
