① . PEAP: Protect Extensible Authentication Protocol. PEAP transport securely
authentication data by using tunneling between PEAP clients and an
authentication server. PEAP can authenticate wireless LAN clients using only
server-side certificates, thus simplifying the implementation and
administration of a secure wireless LAN.
② . TLS／Smart Card: Transport Layer Security. Provides for certificate-based and
mutual authentication of the client and the network. It relies on client-side and
server-side certificates to perform authentication and can be used to
dynamically generate user-based and session-based WEP keys to secure
subsequent communications between the WLAN client and the access point.
