3.2.2.2.4.3 802.1X – LEAP
EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an extension to the PPP protocol that
enables a variety of authentication protocols to be used. It passes through the
exchange of authentication messages, allowing the authentication software stored in
a server to interact with its counterpart in the client.
LEAP (Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol) also known as Cisco-
Wireless EAP provides username/password-based authentication between a
wireless client and a RADIUS server. LEAP is one of several protocols used with the
IEEE 802.1X standard for LAN port access control. LEAP also delivers a session key
to the authenticated station, so that future frames can be encrypted with a key that is
different than keys used by others sessions. Dynamic key delivery eliminates one big
vulnerability; static encryption keys that are shared by all stations in the WLAN.
