EAP-TTLS is described in an IETF Internet draft "draft-funk-eap-ttls-v1-01.txt." The draft can be found at
http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-funk-eap-ttls-v1-01.txt .
Here is a snippet from the abstract of the Internet draft:
"EAP-TTLS is an EAP type that utilizes TLS to establish a secure connection between a client and server, through which
additional information may be exchanged. The initial TLS handshake may mutually authenticate client and server; or it perform a one-way authentication, in which only the server is authenticated to the client."
Note
EAP-TTLS is an individual draft submission and is not standardized in the IETF.
EAP Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling (EAP-FAST)
Extensible Authentication Protocol-Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling (EAP-FAST) was developed by Cisco Systems, an initial draft was submitted to the IETF in February 2004. The draft was revised and resubmitted in April 2005. EAP-FAST was
developed to address the weaknesses of LEAP.
EAP-FAST uses the TLS tunnel, thereby providing a strong level of encryption. Similar to other EAP types that use the TLS
approach, EAP-FAST offers confidentiality and integrity to protect user identification.
