An authentication protocol is a type of computer communications protocol or cryptographic protocol specifically designed for transfer of authentication data between two entities. It allows the receiving entity to authenticate the connecting entity (e.g. Client connecting to a Server) as well as authenticate itself to the connecting entity ...
Password Authentication Protocol. Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) is a password -based authentication protocol used by Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) to validate users. [1] PAP is specified in RFC 1334. Almost all network operating systems support PPP with PAP, as do most network access servers.
Extensible Authentication Protocol. Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) is an authentication framework frequently used in network and internet connections. It is defined in RFC 3748, which made RFC 2284 obsolete, and is updated by RFC 5247. EAP is an authentication framework for providing the transport and usage of material and parameters ...
Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol. In computing, the Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) is an authentication protocol originally used by Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) to validate users. CHAP is also carried in other authentication protocols such as RADIUS and Diameter. Almost all network operating systems support PPP ...
OAuth is an authorization protocol, rather than an authentication protocol. Using OAuth on its own as an authentication method may be referred to as pseudo-authentication. [26] The following diagrams highlight the differences between using OpenID (specifically designed as an authentication protocol) and OAuth for authorization.
Authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) is a framework used to control and track access within a computer network. Authentication is concerned with proving identity, authorization with granting permissions, accounting with maintaining a continuous and robust audit trail via logging. Common network protocols providing this ...
Kerberos (protocol) Kerberos (/ ˈkɜːrbərɒs /) is a computer-network authentication protocol that works on the basis of tickets to allow nodes communicating over a non-secure network to prove their identity to one another in a secure manner.
The Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol, also known as Protected EAP or simply PEAP, is a protocol that encapsulates the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) within an encrypted and authenticated Transport Layer Security (TLS) tunnel. [1][2][3][4] The purpose was to correct deficiencies in EAP; EAP assumed a protected communication ...
