Specifications

The WLAN Smart Card Consortium has developed the following specifications for enabling smart cards on WLAN networks 

EAP Smart Card Type V00
Released September 29, 2004
The EAP Smart Card Protocol (EAP-SC) defines an EAP Method and
Multiplexing model for the support of Smart Card based
authentication methods. EAP-SC provides a uniform framework for
interfacing with Smart Cards within the EAP context. EAP-
SC provides for encapsulation of other EAP methods such as EAP-
TLS, EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA. This is an IETF Draft.
A text version is available
here.

WLAN-SIM specification V1.0  
Released October 20, 2003
Defines a smart card interface to provide authentication, session key distribution and identity management using a SIM Smart Card. Allows hot spot operators to extend SIM technology for WLAN authentication. Utilizes industry endorsed standards for authentication: 802.1x and EAP-SIM

EAP-SIM Handler specification V1.1  
Released August 1, 2004
Provides specifications that ensures interoperability between a client application and smart cards that support the EAP-SIM protocol, including the WLAN-SIM smart card, UICC-EAP card and any legacy SIM smart card. Defines the exchange of the client application with the EAP-SIM server for authentication and re-authentication. Defines the exchange with the smart card to generate EAP-SIM specific identities, Authentication Codes and session keys.
