O - P - Q
OATH An industry-wide collaboration to develop an open-reference architecture for two-factor and OTP
authentication
OTP One-Time Password. This password is valid for one-time use only. Using an OTP reduces the
risk of an unauthorized intruder gaining access to the network.
PAP Password Authentication Protocol.
Password Authentication Protocol
A simple password protocol that transmits a user name and password across the network,
unencrypted, abbreviated as PAP.
PEAP
(Protected
EAP)
Functionally very similar to TTLS, but does not encapsulate legacy authentication methods. PEAP
features include: Dynamic Key Exchange; Mutual Authentication; and, Encrypted Tunnelling.
Point-to-Point Protocol
The standard protocol for dial-up networking. The family of standards covers many aspects
including authentication, encryption, compression, addressing, multi-protocols, etc., abbreviated

Policy Policy is a very broadly used term. To the AAA server, it means the conditionally applicable set
of attribute-value pairs that an AAA protocol, such as RADIUS, may support. HP-UX AAA
policies are simple or complex decisions that control the authentication, authorization, and
accounting process for a user's access request.
PPP Point-to-Point Protocol.
Protocol A set of rules established between two devices to allow communications to occur.
Proxy The mechanism that allows one system to mediate between two other systems in response to
protocol requests. A RADIUS server can act as a proxy client and forward an Access-Request to
another AAA server for authentication. As a proxy client, the server would mediate the requests
and replies between the client where the Access-Request originated from and the server that the
request was forwarded to.
