Please see this for what can be used for User-Name: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4282 In practive '-' should be safe but the others may or may not be allowed by clients, NASes and Radius servers. I would not use them. > b. What’s the minimum length acceptable? See this: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2865#section-5.1 You should read it for more details, but 1 is minimum. In practice some devices may leave it completely empty. String The String field is one or more octets. The NAS may limit the maximum length of the User-Name but the ability to handle at least 63 octets is recommended. > 2. PAC – > > a. Does it accept ASCII only or hex input is okay? See this: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4851#section-3.2.2 PAC has many components. Quote for PAC-Key: "The PAC-Key is randomly generated by the EAP server to produce a strong entropy 32-octet key" This rules out ASCII. Please read the RFC for more information. > b. Does EAP FAST also need an username in addition to PAC? This depends on the inner (phase 2) authentication. There are various protocols that can be used here. > 3. What is the data cipher used in EAP TTLS? Is it similar to > password or something else? Need some more details here. Please see the RFC. The RFC discusses about encryption.
