EAP-SIM uses a dynamic session-based WEP key, which is derived from the client adapter and RADIUS
server, to encrypt data. EAP-SIM requires you to enter a user verification code, or PIN, for communication
with the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card. A SIM card is a special smart card that is used by Global
System for Mobile Communications (GSM) based digital cellular networks.
