Extended EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol)

Extended EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an addition to the Wi-Fi Protected Access - WPA and WPA2 - Enterprise certification programs, which further ensures the interoperability of secure Wi-Fi networking products for enterprise and government users.

EAP types include:

• EAP-TLS - Extensible Authentication Protocol Transport Layer Security
• EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPv2 - EAP-Tunneled TLS/Microsoft Challenge Authentication Handshake Protocol. Securely tunnels clients authentication within TLS records
• PEAPv0/EAP-MSCHAPv2 - Protected EAP combined with Microsoft Challenge Authentication Handshake Protocol PEAPv1/EAP-GTC - PEAPv1/EAP-GTC was created as an alternative to PEAPv0/EAP-MSCHAPv2. It allows the use of an inner authentication protocol other than Microsoft's MSCHAPv2.
• EAP-SIM - Specifies a mechanism for mutual authentication and session key agreement using the GSM-SIM and used in GSM-based mobile phone networks.
