PEAP
Protected Extensible
Authentication Protocol is an
IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) draft standard to
authenticate wireless LAN clients without requiring them to have certificates. In PEAP
authentication, first the user authenticates the authentication server, then the
authentication server authenticates the user. If the first phase is successful, the user is
then authenticated over the SSL tunnel created in phase one using EAP-Generic Token Card
(EAP-GTC) or Microsoft Challenged Handshake Protocol Version 2 (MSCHAP V2). (See also
EAP-TLS/EAP-TTLS.)
