EAP-PEAP
EAP-Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP-PEAP) is a protocol that creates an encrypted (and more
secure) channel before the password-based authentication occurs.
PEAP is an 802.1X authentication method that uses server-side public key certificate to establish a secure
tunnel in which the client authenticates with server. The PEAP authentication creates an encrypted SSL/TLS
tunnel between client and authentication server. The exchange of information is encrypted and stored in the
tunnel ensuring that the user credentials are kept secure.
