Talk:Extensible Authentication Protocol

message: This page seems to have some serious anti-Cisco slant, possibly to the extent that it violates NPOV. In particular, phrases such as 'Swallowing the Cisco Kool-Aid' have no place in an encyclopdiac entry. Yes, it is true that LEAP as well as MD5 are vulernable to dictionary attacks; however, this article makes such the assinine references that EAP-FAST is likewise going to be insecure which is true speculation and also has no place in this entry. --anon
: Thanks for pointing that out: I've cut a few sentences that were blatant, but it still needs work, and the article is pretty hard to understand to boot. I've added a "cleanup" tag. — Matt Crypto 16:29, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I apologize for that 'Swallowing the Cisco Kool-Aid' comment.  This was my first contribution to the Wiki and it was a newbie mistake.  I will be more careful in the future.  -- George
The EAP should, according to IETF (see http://www3.ietf.org/proceedings/02mar/slides/eap-1/tsld010.htm), be pronounced as "ee ey pee". Schotti 03:22, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

message: This article seems pretty clean. I swapped out the cleanup for diagram because security protocols are inherently difficult to understand. --meatclerk 19:16, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Why is RFC 2716 (EAP-TLS) called "open standard", whereas RFC 4746 (EAP-PSX) is called "experimental RFC"?  Both are "experimental track" RFCs, but it sounds like someone is twisting words here.  To the uninitiated, RFCs can be one of
standards track: These have the IETF stamp of approval for future direction and relevancy.
informational: Often non-normative documents, or contributed documents from vendors who wish to publish what they've implemented.
experimental: A suggested protocol or similar which is, well, experimental.  IETF will not publish bad or inconsistent protocols, so there is nothing derogatory about being an experimental RFC.  BGP started out as experimental, and didn't become standards track until BGP-4!
Finally, there's historic: obsolete standards.
It is also stated that EAP-MD5 is the only standards track EAP application, but this is not strictly correct -- the Diameter EAP application (RFC 4072) is also standards track. Kjetilho (talk) 11:58, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I've added templates suggesting a merge of Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol into this article.  The PEAP redirect should become a disambig page at that point, since there is a line at the top of the page about a different expansion of the acronym.

thread_title:  Merge proposal 

message: The following text does not have anything to do with RADIUS.  I've moved it here in case it's needed in the EAP article.
Some EAP methods establish a secure tunnel between an authenticator and the home AAA server before the transmission of sensitive data, providing relief for most of those concerns.  In these cases, there is sometimes an outer identity in clear text transmitted outside the EAP tunnel - visible to proxies so they can route packets - which doesn't have to reveal much about the user's true identity, and an inner identity that does, which is transmitted inside the secure EAP tunnel.

message: I just noticed that the external references are not links to anything and there are no references on the page.  This appears to have been done in an edit on February 19, 2018.  Should this be reverted?  I would think it should be, but since it's been present for four months, perhaps there is a reason why nobody has reverted it yet?  Shamino (talk) 17:38, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
