EAP-TTLS is an EAP protocol that extends EAP-TLS. In EAP-TLS, a TLS
handshake is used to mutually authenticate a client and server. EAP- TTLS
extends this authentication negotiation by using the secure connection
established by the TLS handshake to exchange additional information between
client and server. In EAP-TTLS, the TLS handshake may be mutual; or it may
be one-way, in which only the server is authenticated to the client. The
secure connection established by the handshake may then be used to allow
the server to authenticate the client using existing, widely-deployed
authentication infrastructures such as RADIUS. The authentication of the
client may itself be EAP, or it may be another authentication protocol such
as PAP, CHAP, MS-CHAP or MS-CHAP-V2.
