Property Name Description
WPA2-Enterprise authentication.
EAP-LEAP
LEAP stands for Lightweight
Extensible Authentication Protocol. It
changes the WEP key for each session,
preventing attackers retrieving data by
cracking the key.
EAP-TLS
TLS stands for Transport Layer
Security. EAP-TLS requires both a client and a
server to exchange digital certificates to
authenticate each other. It uses Public Key
Infrastructure (PKI) to protect
communication. A server and a client need to
obtain certificates from a certification
authority (CA), and use these certificates to
validate each other’s identity.
EAP-TTLS
TTLS stands for Tunneled
Transport Layer Security. It has two stages.
First, a server sends its certificate to a client
after it received an authentication request.
This certificate is used to create an encrypted
tunnel (TLS tunnel) between the server and
the client. Second, both sides exchange
attribute-value pairs (AVP) through this
tunnel.
PEAP
Short for Protected Extensible
Authentication Protocol. Similar to EAP-TTLS,
it creates an encrypted tunnel between a
server and a client in the first stage. After
that, it starts the second EAP exchange
through this tunnel.
EAP-FAST
FAST stands for Flexible
Authentication via Secure Tunneling. Similar
to PEAP, it has two stages. First, it uses a
Protected Access Credentials (PACs) to create
an encrypted tunnel. Second, it authenticates
the client to the server within the tunnel.
EAP Username The username for EAP authentication. It
