Benefits and

Basic Functions
EAP-TLS describes a certificate-based authentication method via a
RADIUS server. For this purpose, certificates are exchanged between
the TPG and the RADIUS server. An encrypted TLS connection bet-
ween the TPG and the RADIUS server is established in this process.
Both RADIUS server and TPG need a valid, digital certificate signed
