EAP-TLS Requires both client and server to authenticate with each other via PKI which
can be in the form of X.509 certificates or smart cards. The exchange is done
inside a TLS tunnel which makes it resistant to man-in-the-middle attacks.
The drawback is that it requires heavy PKI infrastructure to be in place.
