In this paper, we analyze the most widely deployed ranging from EAP-TLS [27] to EAP-PSK [25]. addition, derive security requirements meet, evaluate typical terms requirements, discuss features existing widely-deployed methods. identify two use cases Finally, recent standardization activities area reviewed.
