· Extensible Authentication Protocol
Protocolo del
tipo EAP desarrollado conjuntamente por Microsoft, RSA Security y Cisco para la
transmisión datos autenticados, incluso claves, sobre redes inalámbricas
802.11. Autentica clientes de red wi-fi empleando sólo certificados del lado
servidor creando una túnel SSL/TLS entre el cliente y el servidor de
autenticación. El túnel luego protege el resto de intercambios de autenticación
de usuario.
a method to securely
transmit authentication information, including passwords, over wired or
wireless networks. It was jointly developed by Cisco Systems, Microsoft, and
RSA Security. Note that PEAP is not an encryption protocol; as with other EAP
types it only authenticates a client into a network.
PEAP uses only
server-side public key certificates to authenticate clients by creating an
encrypted SSL/TLS tunnel between the client and the authentication server. The
ensuing exchange of authentication information is then encrypted and user
credentials are safe from eavesdropping.
PEAP is a joint
proposal by Cisco Systems, Microsoft and RSA Security as an open standard. It
is already widely available in products, and provides very good security. It is
similar in design to EAP-TTLS, requiring only a server-side PKI certificate to
create a secure TLS tunnel to protect user authentication.
