Diameter Extensible Authentication Protocol Application
RFC 4072, “Diameter Extensible Authentication Protocol Application”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2005 by P. Eronen, T. Hiller, G. Zorn. It has since been updated by RFC 7268, RFC 8044. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) provides a standard mechanism for support of various authentication methods. This document defines the Command-Codes and AVPs necessary to carry EAP packets between a Network Access Server (NAS) and a back-end authentication server. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
