PPP Authentication Protocols (PAP and CHAP)

All asynchronous and synchronous PPP links are configurable to use either PAP or CHAP PPP authentication protocols. PAP establishes peer identity using a 2-way handshake that is done only upon initial link establishment. CHAP performs a 3-way handshake upon initial link establishment, then proceeds to verify the link with 3-way handshakes at random intervals. CHAP also encrypts the user’s password over the PPP link to provide added security.
