Package name : ppp-2.4.5-eaptls-mppe Version : 0.98 Upstream Author : Paul Mackerras <pau...@samba.org>, Jan Just Keijser <janj...@nikhef.nl> URL : http://samba.org/ppp/ License : BSD Programming Lang: C Description : PPP daemon with EAP-TLS authentication support This package contains an extended Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) daemon with support for EAP-TLS authentication. The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP; RFC 3748) is a security protocol that can be used with PPP. It provides a means to plug in multiple optional authentication methods. Transport Level Security (TLS; RFC 2246) provides for mutual authentication, integrity-protected ciphersuite negotiation and key exchange between two endpoints. It also provides for optional MPPE encryption. EAP-TLS (RFC 2716) incapsulates the TLS messages in EAP packets, allowing TLS mutual authentication to be used as a generic EAP mechanism. It also provides optional encryption using the MPPE protocol. This authentication method can be used in both client or server mode. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
