Is it possible to set asterisk's VoIP authentication to be based on EAP-SIM auth of freeradius?

There should be support for EAP in both SIP user agent and SIP proxy. 
There is long ago outdated draft 
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-torvinen-http-eap-01> that specify how 
to encapsulate EAP inside WWW-Authentication and Authorization HTTP headers.

Moreover SIP proxy should support forwarding EAP messages between SIP 
protocol and RADIUS protocol.

Moreover SIP user agent should have an access to SIM card. If you talk 
about PC-based SIP user agent (e.g. X-Lite), SIM card should be 
accessible ether via PC/SC API (if SIM card connected to PC through 
smart card reader), or via modem AT command set specified in 3GPP TS 
27.007 (if SIM card connected to GPRS modem that is connected to PC).

All this is definitely off-topic for this mailing list.
