> 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.

>   The protocol was reviewed for the IESG by Jari Arkko.
