Overview:


This chapter, from Cisco Press' Cisco Wireless LAN Security, examines the various authentication protocols such as the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), Protected EAP (PEAP), the Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol (LEAP), and EAP- Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling (EAP-FAST).

The chapter begins with a look at the fundamental concepts and contexts of authentication and access control; next, it discusses the various protocols such as EAP and 802.1x. You will see how the protocols add security features such as encrypted tunnels, dynamic key distribution and rotation, authenticating the user rather than the device, and applying identity-based mechanisms and systems.
