eap Mailing List: Server Authentication in EAp-TLS/802.11i

[Abhijit Rao (abhijit_rao.mailinglist]

Hello,

When EAP-TLS is in effect how is the 802.11i client
expected to authenticate the Server certificate? The
client does not access to "internet". I thought one
way is for the client it is a safe TLS - Server and go
ahead and finish the key generation ... and once the
"internet" access is available - to validate the
server certificate. But this does not work if it is a
closed network - please help. Your insight into this
matter is appreciated sincerely. I read the most
recent draft regarding EAP-TLS  I did not see any
recommendation being made.
Regards
Abhi
