Technical Summary
 
  This document describes a general EAP method suitable for use
  with One-Time Password (OTP) tokens, particularly with
  tokens that have direct electronic interfaces to their
  associated clients. The method provides either unilateral
  or mutual authentication and key material. It can be
  used in environments that employ EAP authentication, such
  as IKEv2, 802.11, 802.1X, or PPP.
 
Working Group Summary
 
  This is an individual submission to the IESG.

  Pointers to the specification have been posted in
  the EAP and EMU WGs, and presentation about the
  protocol have been held in IETF 62 and 64. The
  specification has also been discussed in the
  OTPS mailing list and forum hosted by RSA
  Security.
 
  There are a number of vendors who have or are about
  to implement this. Given the widespread use of
  OTP token cards, it is expected that specifications
  for their use in EAP can be beneficial interoperability.
  While there are existing specifications for the
  use of OTP in EAP, they do not fulfill all current
  requirements. In addition, neither the EAP or
  EMU WGs currently have OTP support in their
  charter.

  Uri Blumenthal, Pasi Eronen, and David Black have
  reviewed this specification as a part of the
  IETF Last Call and solicited secdir reviews.
  All comments were addressed.

Protocol Quality
 
  The protocol was reviewed for the IESG by Jari Arkko.

Note to RFC Editor
 
   Please delete first paragraph of Section 8.
