Authentication Description
EAP/TLS
(see
Figure 9-6 )
EAP/TLS is an authentication scheme through IEEE 802.1x. It
authenticates users and ensures only valid users can connect to the
network. It also restricts unauthorized users from accessing transmitted
information. EAP/TLS achieves this through secure authentication
certificates.
PEAP
(see
Figure 9-7 )
Select this option to enable PEAP authentication. This method uses a
digital certificate to verify and authenticate a user’s identity.
