IEEE 802.1x
The IEEE 802.1x standard outlines enhanced security methods for both the authentication
of wireless stations and encryption key management. Authentication can be done using
an external RADIUS server.
EAP Authentication
EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an authentication protocol which runs on the
top of IEEE 802.1x transport mechanism in order to support multiple types of user
authentication. By using EAP to interact with an EAP-compatible RADIUS server, an access
point helps a wireless station and a RADIUS server perform authentication.
