Basic Password Exchange within the Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling Extensible Authentication Protocol
RFC 5421, “Basic Password Exchange within the Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling Extensible Authentication Protocol”, is an Informational document published in March 2009 by N. Cam-Winget, H. Zhou. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP-FAST) method enables secure communication between a peer and a server by using Transport Layer Security (TLS) to establish a mutually authenticated tunnel. Within this tunnel, a basic password exchange, based on the Generic Token Card method (EAP-GTC), may be executed to authenticate the peer. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
