What is EAP vs PEAP?

EAP-SIM requires you to enter a user verification code, or PIN, for communication with the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card. PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol) provides a method to transport securely authentication data, including legacy password-based protocols, via 802.11 Wi-Fi networks.

What does PEAP stand for?

Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol
PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol) is a version of EAP, the authentication protocol used in wireless networks and Point-to-Point connections. PEAP is designed to provide more secure authentication for 802.11 WLANs (wireless local area networks) that support 802.1X port access control.

What is PEAP TLS?

The Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol, also known as Protected EAP or simply PEAP, is a protocol that encapsulates the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) within an encrypted and authenticated Transport Layer Security (TLS) tunnel.

Is EAP TTLS secure?

First and foremost, EAP-TLS as an authentication method is highly secure and prepared to thwart any ill-advised attacks on the network. Information sent over-the-air is protected in an encrypted EAP tunnel, but for added protection, all information sent through the tunnel is itself encrypted.

What are the different versions of PEAPv1?

PEAPv1 and PEAPv2 were defined in different versions of draft-josefsson-pppext-eap-tls-eap. PEAPv1 was defined in draft-josefsson-pppext-eap-tls-eap-00 through draft-josefsson-pppext-eap-tls-eap-05, and PEAPv2 was defined in versions beginning with draft-josefsson-pppext-eap-tls-eap-06.

What does PEAP stand for in security category?

PEAP is also an acronym for Personal Egress Air Packs. The Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol, also known as Protected EAP or simply PEAP, is a protocol that encapsulates the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) within an encrypted and authenticated Transport Layer Security (TLS) tunnel.

Which is better EAP-TTLS or PEAP-MSCHAPv2?

Active Directory, then you can use EAP-PEAP-MsCHAPv2 (Windows boxes) and EAP-TTLS-MsCHAPv2 (with iOS clients). If you store passwords on LDAP, you can use EAP-TTLS-PAP (Windows boxes) but you will be lost about iOS. Both EAP-TTLS and PEAP use TLS (Transport Layer Security) over EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol).

Is there Windows support for PEAPv1 / EAP-GTC?

PEAPv1/ EAP-GTC was created by Cisco to provide interoperability with existing token card and directory based authentication systems via a protected channel. Even though Microsoft co-invented the PEAP standard, Microsoft never added support for PEAPv1 in general, which means PEAPv1/EAP-GTC has no native Windows OS support.
