CKIP Cisco Key Integrity Protocol (CKIP) is a Cisco proprietary
security protocol for encryption in 802.11 media. CKIP uses a

EAP Short for Extensible Authentication Protocol, EAP sits inside
of Point-to-Point Protocol’s (PPP) authentication protocol and
provides a generalized framework for several different
authentication methods. EAP is supposed to head off
proprietary authentication systems and let everything from
passwords to challenge-response tokens and public-key
infrastructure certificates all work smoothly.
EAP-FAST EAP-FAST, like EAP-TTLS and PEAP, uses tunneling to protect
traffic. The main difference is that EAP-FAST does not use
certificates to authenticate.
EAP-GTC The EAP-GTC (Generic Token Card) is similar to the EAP-OTP
except with hardware token cards. The request contains a
displayable message, and the response contains the string
read from the hardware token card.
