Taking the Leap to PEAP for Wireless.

Access points are proliferating but despite this growth in wireless use there are still no formal policies or standards in place. This article focuses on the deployment of Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) for wireless communications. The deployment of PEAP is considered to be the only way to the only way to make use of existing deployment of RSA SecureID tokens while getting two-factor authentication. With PEAP, the authentication data is transmitted after the encrypted tunnel is created.
