Section: I.2.2 EAP framework, selection of authentication method, and EAP method credentials I.2.2.1 General
Content: The EAP authentication framework is supported by the 5GS as described in clause 6.1.1.2. The UE and the SNPN may support 5G AKA, EAP-AKA', or any other key-generating EAP authentication method. Selection of the authentication methods is dependent on NPN configuration. NOTE 1: For EAP-AKA' (as well as 5G AKA), the selection is described in clause 6.1.2. For authentication, that is not using EAP-AKA' (or 5G AKA), the selection is NPN operator deployment specific and out of scope of this specification. When an EAP authentication method other than EAP-AKA' is selected, the chosen method determines the credentials needed in the UE and network. These credentials, called the EAP-method credentials, shall be used for authentication. NOTE 2: How credentials for EAP methods other than EAP-AKA' are stored and processed within the UE is out of the scope for standalone non-public networks. NOTE 3: Storage and processing of credentials for EAP-AKA' (as well as 5G AKA) is described in clause 6 of the present document.
