RFC 4017, “Extensible Authentication Protocol Method Requirements for Wireless LANs”, is an Informational document published in March 2005 by D. Stanley, J. Walker, B. Aboba. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The IEEE 802.11i MAC Security Enhancements Amendment makes use of IEEE 802.1X, which in turn relies on the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). This document defines requirements for EAP methods used in IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN deployments. The material in this document has been approved by IEEE 802.11 and is being presented as an IETF RFC for informational purposes. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
