Authentication Type

The authentication type methods

include:

PEAP:

PEAP (Protected Extensible

Authentication Protocol) authentication

is a version of Extensible Authentication

Protocol (EAP). EAP ensures mutual

authentication between a wireless client

and a server that resides at the network

operations center.

TLS/Smart Card:

TLS (Transport Layer Security) authentication is used to

create an encrypted tunnel and achieve server-side authentication in a manner

similar to Web server authentication using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

protocol. This method uses digital certicates to verify the identity of a client

and server.

TTLS:

TTLS authentication uses certicates to authenticate the server, while

maintaining similar security properties to TLS such as mutual authentication

and a shared condentiality for session WEP key.

LEAP:

LEAP (Light Extensible Authentication Protocol) authentication is a

version of Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). EAP ensures mutual

authentication between a wireless client and a server that resides at the

network operations center.

Md5-challenge:

Md5-challenge is a one-way encrypting algorithm that uses

usernames and passwords. This method does not support key management,

but require a preset key.
