Authentication Type

The authentication type methods
include:
PEAP: PEAP (Protected Extensible
Authentication Protocol) authentication
is a version of Extensible Authentication
Protocol (E AP). EAP en sures 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.
