Page 141 Typical Message Exchange Using MD5 or TLS The above graphic displays the typical message exchange when the device and the AP support 802.1X. When an AP acting as an authenticator detects a wireless station on the LAN, it sends an EAP-Request for the user's identity to the terminal. In turn, the terminal responds with its identity, and the AP relays this identity to an authentication server, which is typically an external RADIUS server.
Page 142 Typical Message Exchange Using TTLS and PEAP The above graphic shows a typical message flow for a TTLS transaction. TTLS authentication comprises two phases. In Phase 1, TLS is used to authenticate the TTLS server to the client. The TTLS server may optionally request authentication of the client's certificate, but by default the client verifies only the server's certificate.
Page 143 For example, the following graphic displays the authentication flow for a mobile user who wishes to create a virtual private network with his home office. By using the Client, the user can associate with a wireless network provided by a third party, in this case the ISP. We assume that the company and the ISP have established a service relationship beforehand.
Page 144 LEAP is a pre-EAP, Cisco-proprietary protocol, with many of the features of EAP protocols. Cisco controls the ability of other vendors to implement this protocol, so it should be selected for use only when limited vendor choice for client, access-point, and server products is not a concern.
