3.2.1 Abstract Data Model
This section describes a model of possible data organization that a client-side implementation maintains to participate in this protocol. The described organization is provided to facilitate the explanation of how the protocol behaves. This specification does not mandate that an implementation adhere to this model as long as the external behavior of the implementation is consistent with what is described in this specification.
The PEAP peer participating in this protocol maintains the following data.
isFastReconnectConfigured: A Boolean flag indicating whether fast reconnect is configured to be allowed (TRUE) or not allowed (FALSE) for the session.
isIdPrivacyEnabled: A Boolean flag indicating whether Identity Privacy feature is enabled (TRUE) or not (FALSE) for the session.<9>
IdentityPrivacyString: A NULL terminated Unicode string indicating the identity to be used in the outer EAP-Identity response packet.<10>
isValidateServerCertEnabled: A Boolean flag indicating whether a server certificate will be validated for the session. . A value of TRUE means the certificate will be validated. A value of FALSE means the certificate will not be validated.
ServerNames: An array of NULL terminated Unicode strings indicating the names of authenticating servers that the client configured to authenticate to.
isValidateServerNameEnabled: A Boolean flag indicating whether the subject name of the server certificate should (TRUE) or should not (FALSE) be validated against the configured ServerNames for the session.
isPromptForValidationDisabled: A Boolean flag indicating whether a user can (TRUE) or cannot (FALSE) be prompted to override the validation failures on the server certificate.
TrustedCertHashInfoList: An array of 20-byte SHA1 hash ([RFC3174]) specifying the subset of certificates from a trust root that needs to be used by the peer to validate the trust anchor (section 6 of [RFC5280]) of the server certificate obtained during the Phase 1 TLS Tunnel establishment.
The [MS-GPWL] specifies a mechanism to initialize the EAP methods with method-specific settings. It specifies the settings for PEAP in BLOB format (section 2.2.3.1) and in schema format (section 2.2.3.1.2). The following table specifies the elements in the BLOB and xml schema, and it specifies the corresponding abstract data model variable that gets initialized.

The client maintains the current state of the authentication in an integer variable called currentState. The currentState variable is initialized when the client starts the PEAP authentication and remains valid till the authentication is done. At any point in time, the currentState variable can have the following integer values, each one representing the current state of the client machine.
PEAP_BEGIN
PEAP_PHASE1_INPROGRESS
TUNNEL ESTABLISHED
PHASE2_EAP_INPROGRESS
INNER_IDENTITY_SENT
SUCCESS_TLV_SENT
FAILURE_TLV_SENT
PEAP_SUCCESS
PEAP_FAILED
