3.4.5 802.1x with PEAP

802.1X provides an authentication framework for wireless LANs allowing a user to be
authenticated by a central authority. 802.1X uses an existing protocol called EAP. EAP
(Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an extension to the PPP protocol that enables a
variety of authentication protocols to be used. It passes through the exchange of
authentication messages, allowing the authentication software stored in a server to interact
with its counterpart in the client.

3.4.5.1 PEAP AUTHENTICATION WITH EAP/TLS SMARTCARD

EAP/TLS Smartcard 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.
