  • Page 35 AWK-6222 Web Console Configuration As you can see, digital certificates are still needed for the outer authentication in a simplified form. Only a small number of certificates are required, which can be generated by a small certificate authority. Certificate reduction makes TTLS and PEAP much more popular than EAP-TLS. The AWK-6222 provides some non-cryptographic EAP methods including PAP, CHAP, MS-CHAP, and MS-CHAP-V2.
  • Page 36 AWK-6222 Web Console Configuration PEAP There are a few differences in the inner authentication procedures for TTLS and PEAP. TTLS uses the encrypted channel to exchange attribute-value pairs (AVPs), while PEAP uses the encrypted channel to start a second EAP exchange inside of the tunnel.
