Extending the TLS Protocol by EAP Handshake to Build a Security Architecture for Heterogenous Wireless Network

The Extensible Authentication Protocol, or EAP, is an authentication framework used frequently in wireless networks and point-to-point connections. The Transport Layer Security (TLS) provides a secure communication layer, using asymmetric cryptography for key exchange, symmetric encryption for privacy and message authentication codes for message integrity. In this work we propose to replace the TLS handshake mechanism with the EAP authentication, which allows authentication to be easily integrated into multiple wireless network technologies using EAP-TLS.
