Cong - Authentication
This tab allows you to set the security settings to match those of your AP. It is
congurable only if you have set Network Authentication to WPA or WPA2 in
Cong-Encryption tab.
Authentication Type
The authentication type methods include:
PEAP:
PEAP (Protected Extensible
Authentication Protocol) authentication is a
version of Extensible Authentication Protocol
(EAP). EAP ensures mutual authentication
between a wireless client and a server that
resides at the network operations center.
TLS:
TLS (Transport Layer Security) authentication is used to create an
encrypted tunnel and achieve server-side authentication in a manner similar
to Web server authentication using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. This
method uses digital certicates to verify the identity of a client and server.
TTLS:
TTLS authentication uses certicates to authenticate the server, while
maintaining similar security properties to TLS such as mutual authentication
and a shared condentiality for session WEP key.
