EAP-TLS is considered one of the most secure EAP types, but:
It requires a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).
Every client device must have a unique certificate, adding to administrative burden and cost.
Incorrect:
A. Roaming speed is not inherently slower with EAP-TLS if supported by the infrastructure.
B. EAP-TLS protects client credentials; passwords aren’t even used—it uses certificates.
C. EAP-TLS does establish a secure tunnel—it's the original TLS-based method.
D. EAP-TLS is vendor-agnostic and supported by most enterprise WLAN infrastructure.
