Jon Kare,

in response to your question

Is TTLS the same as EAP-TLS?


the answer is no.

Here is the url

       http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensible_Authentication_Protocol


 to a wikipedia article on the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) 
and the variants of EAP that are currently standardized including

    TLS - Transport Layered Security

and

    TTLS - Tunneled Transport Layer Security


A key difference between TLS and TTLS is that TLS requires both the 
supplicant and the authentication server to  utilize digital 
certificates, whereas TTLS only requires the authentication server to 
utilize a digital certificate. Here is the url to an article that 
compares  TLS  on the one hand and TTLS and PEAP on the other.
