2.3.8. 802.1x with PEAP
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.
2.3.9. PEAP Authentication with EAP/TLS Smartcard
EAP/TLS Smartcard provides for certificate-based and mutual authentication of
the client and the network. It relies on client-side and server-side certificates to
perform authentication and can be used to dynamically generate user-based and
session-based WEP keys to secure subsequent communications between the
WLAN client and the access point.
