How do I choose among all
these protocols?
The surest way to choose the right
authentication protocols is to select all of the protocols that are in use on
your network.
The available protocols are based on the Extensible
Authentication Protocol (EAP). The following describes each protocol.
- LEAP
(Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol) -- a proprietary protocol
from Cisco Systems that uses passwords for mutual authentication (that is, the
client and the server authenticate each other).
- PEAP (Protected
Extensible Authentication Protocol) -- a mutual authentication protocol that
uses digital certificates for server authentication and passwords for client
authentication. For additional security, the authentication exchanges are
encapsulated within TLS (Transport Level Security).
- EAP-TLS (EAP
using Transport Level Security) -- a mutual authentication protocol based on
digital certificates.
