EAP-FAST
EAP-FAST (Extensible Authentication Protocol-Flexible Authentication via Secured Tunnel) has been
developed by Cisco Systems, Inc. which uses a user ID and password for authentication, and symmetric
key algorithms to achieve a tunneled authentication process.
The machine supports the following inner authentications:
• EAP-FAST/NONE
EAP-FAST authentication for CCXv3 networks. Does not use an inner authentication method.
• EAP-FAST/MS-CHAPv2
EAP-FAST authentication for CCXv4 networks. Uses MS-CHAPv2 for the inner authentication method.
• EAP-FAST/GTC
EAP-FAST authentication for CCXv4 networks. Uses GTC for the inner authentication method.
Encryption methods 3
Encryption is used to secure the data that is sent over the wireless network. The machine supports the
following encryption methods:
None
No encryption method is used.
WEP
By using WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), the data is transmitted and received with a secure key.
TKIP
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) provides per-packet key mixing a message integrity check and
rekeying mechanism.
AES
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is the strong encryption standard.
CKIP
The original Key Integrity Protocol for LEAP by Cisco Systems, Inc.
