The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) [9] is an IETF standard for multiplexing the datagrams of multiple network protocols over a point-to-point link. Like several other standards, PPP has undergone constant revision and evolution since its inception, including the addition of cryptographic security mechanisms. Although mechanisms for authentication and confidentiality were present in the original drafts of PPP, these mechanisms have been significantly revised and expanded in later documents. In particular, RFC 2716 [1] proposes a way in which the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol [3] can be used to secure a PPP connection.
