3.4.6 802.1x with TTLS with EAP-MD5, MS-CHAP, MS-CHAPv2
802.1X provides an authentication framework for wireless LANs allowing a user to be
authenticated by a central authority. 802.1X uses an existing protocol called EAP. EAP
(Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an extension to the PPP protocol that enables a
variety of authentication protocols to be used. It passes through the exchange of
authentication messages, allowing the authentication software stored in a server to
interact with its counterpart in the client. TLS (Transport Layer Security) is an IETF
standardized authentication protocol that uses PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) certificate
based authentication of both the client and authentication server.
