EAP is an IETF RFC standard for various authentication methods carried over any Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) connection. EAP-MD5 is a user name/password method incorporating MD5 hashing for security. EAP-TLS uses X.509 digital certificate technology to provide both Cisco Secure ACS server and client authentication. EAP-TLS also supports dynamic session key negotiation.
