EAP Type GTC
– GTC is an authentication protocol which allows
the exchange of clear text authentication credentials
across the network.
TLS
– TLS is the most secure of the EAP protocols but
not easy to use. It requires that digital certificates be
exchanged in the authentication phase. The server
presents a certificate to the client. After validating the
server‟s certificate, the client presents a client
certificate to the server for validation.
LEAP
– LEAP is a pre-EAP, Cisco-proprietary protocol,
with many of the features of EAP protocols. Cisco
controls the ability of other vendors to implement this
protocol, so it should be selected for use only when
limited vendor choice for client, access-point, and
server products is not a concern. When you have set
up LEAP authentication, you have to enter the user
name and password of your computer.
PEAP & TTLS
– PEAP and TTLS are similar and
easier than TLS in that they specify a stand-alone
authentication protocol be used within an encrypted
tunnel. TTLS supports any protocol within its tunnel,
