I could be missing something here, but isn't this situation what 802.1x is designed for?
It plays nicely with RADIUS, allows for secure authentication and encryption based on certificates, and works at layer 2 rather than layer 3.
PPPoE by contrast won't stop a determined hacker for longer than it takes to google "airsnort". There's no encryption in the setup described (as far as I can tell) and adding it would stop most PPPoE clients from working.
If you've got Windows there are quite a few options for 802.1x clients, but open1x seems to work fine on linux with freeradius.
The European commission seems to exist primarily for its own furtherment.
To that end it spends its time (and my hard earned money) on making up absurd rules and inventing new ways to extract yet more money from me, usually in the name of "harmonization", as though harmony is an end in itself. Of course what is really created is endless dischord.
And when push finally comes to shove, its an entirely useless organization. What happened with beef exports to France? Nothing. France told the EU to get lost, and that's exactly what they've done.

As for the Euro ... the least said the better.
