3.5.4.2 PEAP
Authentication with MS-CHAP
The PEAP (EAP-MSCHAP V2) authentication type is based on EAPTLS
authentication, but uses a password instead of a client certificate for
authentication. PEAP (EAP-MSCHAP V2) uses a dynamic session-based WEP
key, which is derived from the device and RADIUS server, to encrypt data.

3.5.5 802.1x 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.
