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.

802.1X,

type from the drop-down list. The three options available are: TLS, PEAP, and LEAP.
Each one is described below.
