Chapter 6 Appendix A: AP-Server Mutual Authentication The AP-server communication begins with a mutual authentication step in which the AP and server authenticate each other using a shared secret. The AP-server communication takes place only if this authentication succeeds. After the authentication succeeds, a session key is generated. From this point on, all communication between the AP and server is encrypted using the session key.
