EAP is usually used in an arrangement where the actual service (such as a
wireless LAN access point) is separated from the authentication server.
However, EAP itself does not have a concept of a service identity or its
parameters, and thus the client usually does not authenticate any
information about the service itself, even when a mutually authenticating
EAP method is used. This document specifies a backward compatible extension
to popular EAP methods for authenticating service related information, such
as the identity and type of the offered service. A common parameter name
space is created in order to ensure that the same kinds of identifiers can
be authenticated independent of the choice of the EAP authentication
method.
