MORE INFORMATION

EAP is a Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) extension that provides support for additional authentication methods within PPP. TLS allows mutual authentication, integrity-protected cipher suite negotiation, and key exchange between two endpoints.

If you are using smart cards for remote access authentication in Windows 2000, you must use the EAP-TLS authentication method.
