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.
