CHAP is an encrypted authentication mode and avoids
transmission of user’s real password upon the setup of
connection. NAS sends a randomly generated Challenge string
to user. User encrypts Challenge string by using own password
and MD5 algorithm and returns username and encrypted
Challenge string (encrypted password).
Server uses user password it stores and MD5 algorithm to
encrypt Challenge string. It compares this Challenge string
with encrypted password of the server and returns a response
accordingly.
