The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), defined in RFC 3748,
provides support for multiple authentication methods.  Transport
Layer Security (TLS) provides for mutual authentication,
integrity-protected ciphersuite negotiation, and key exchange between
two endpoints.  This document defines EAP-TLS, which includes support for
certificate-based mutual authentication and key derivation.

This document obsoletes RFC 2716.  A summary of the changes between
this document and RFC 2716 is available in Appendix A.  [STANDARDS TRACK]
