authentication messages, allowing the authentication software stored in a server to
interact with its counterpart in the client.
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.

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
