This document defines the Tunnel Extensible Authentication Protocol
(TEAP) version 1.  TEAP is a tunnel-based EAP method that enables
secure communication between a peer and a server by using the
Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol to establish a mutually
authenticated tunnel.  Within the tunnel, TLV objects are used to
convey authentication-related data between the EAP peer and the EAP
server.  This document obsoletes RFC 7170 and updates RFC 9427 by
moving all TEAP specifications from those documents to this one.

This document is a product of the EAP Method Update Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the 
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this 
memo is unlimited.
