This document defines the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), an authentication framework which supports multiple authentication methods. EAP typically runs directly over data link layers such as Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) or IEEE 802, without requiring IP. EAP provides its own support for duplicate elimination and retransmission, but is reliant on lower layer ordering guarantees. Frag...

The mental health problems of employees have become a major occupational health issue in Japan. External employee assistance program providers (EAP) have become important in mental health care for workers, but their activities are poorly documented. This descriptive study was undertaken to clarify the status and future tasks of EAP in Japan. The subjects were all EAP (n=27) registered in the Ja...

OBJECTIVE To estimate the effect of Employee Assistance Program (EAP) use on healthcare utilization as measured by health claims. DATA SOURCES A unique data set that combines individual-level information on EAP utilization, demographic information, and health insurance claims from 1991 to 1995 for all employees of a large midwestern employer. STUDY DESIGN Using "fixed-effect" econometric mo...

IKEv2 is a protocol for exchanging keys in the IPsec architecture. In it's specification, EAP was proposed as one of the authentication mechanisms. EAP is extensible authentication protocol based on client/server architecture and allows introduction of additional EAP methods. Implementation of this protocol is complex and in our project it was decided to include one of the existing implementati...

This document defines the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) based Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling (EAP-FAST) protocol. EAP-FAST is an EAP method that enables secure communication between a peer and a server by using the Transport Layer Security (TLS) to establish a mutually authenticated tunnel. Within the tunnel, Type-Length-Value (TLV) objects are used to convey authentica...

This specification defines a new EAP method, EAP-AKA’, a small revision of the EAP-AKA method. The change is a new key derivation function that binds the keys derived within the method to the name of the access network. The new key derivation mechanism has been defined in the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). This specification allows its use in EAP in an interoperable manner. In addit...

The paper reports on the benefits of imbedding an online negotiation support system (NSS) into experiential learning framework English for Academic Purposes (EAP) course. Proponents projects in second/foreign language classroom emphasize by doing. To test claim, performances students two advanced level EAP courses at Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada, were compared. One course was developed w...

Abstract Academic lectures are potential sources of vocabulary learning for second language learners studying at universities where English is the medium instruction, as well those in Purposes (EAP) programs. Topic-related likely to occur frequently academic texts, and speech consists a reasonable proportion occurring sequences words. Yet no intervention studies have explored single words collo...
