WPA-EAP Using PEAP
PEAP
(Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol) is a protocol developed jointly by Microsoft, RSA
Security, and Cisco Systems for transmitting authentication data, including passwords over a 802.11
wireless network. PEAP authenticates wireless LAN clients using only server-side digital certificates by
creating an SSL/TLS tunnel between the client and the authentication server. The tunnel then protects the
subsequent user authentication exchange.
