EAP OS Design Development (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
The Extensible Authentication Protocol implementation in allows third-party authentication code to interact with the implementation of the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) included in the Windows Embedded CE–based Remote Access Service (RAS). The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) is also used with 802.1x and EAP over LAN (EAPOL) authentication.
