DOI: 10.17487/RFC9966
This document defines a mechanism that enables a bootstrapping device to
establish trust and mutually authenticate against a TLS server. Bootstrapping
devices have a public/private key pair; this mechanism enables a TLS server to
prove to the device that it knows the public key and enables the device to
prove to the TLS server that it knows the private key. The mechanism leverages
existing Device Provisioning Profile (DPP) and TLS standards and can be used in
an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) exchange with an EAP server.
This document is a product of the EAP Method Update Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
