Authentication (Wireless Print Servers) Server-Based Authentication HP Jetdirect 802.11b wireless print servers support popular authentication server-based methods for network access based on IEEE 802.1x Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), including: G LEAP (Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol). LEAP is a proprietary protocol from Cisco Systems, Inc. It uses passwords for mutual authentication between a client and a network authentication server. Dynamic encryption keys are used for secure communications. G PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol). PEAP is a mutual authentication protocol that uses digital certificates for network server authentication and passwords for client authentication. For additional security, the authentication exchanges are encapsulated within TLS (Transport Layer Security). Dynamic encryption keys are used for secure communications. G EAP-MD5 (EAP using Message Digest Algorithm 5, RFC 1321). EAP-MD5 is a one-way authentication protocol that authenticates the client using a password protected by the MD5 encryption algorithm. G EAP-TLS (EAP using Transport Layer Security, RFC 2716). EAP-TLS is a mutual authentication protocol based on X.509-compliant digital certificates for authentication of both the client and the network authentication server. Dynamic encryption keys are used for secure communications. G EAP-TTLS (EAP using Tunneled Transport Layer Security). EAP-TTLS is an EAP-TLS extension that supports: I mutual authentication through client and server X.509-compliant digital certificates, or I one-way authentication through certificate-based server authentication followed by tunneled password-based client authentication. For additional security, the authentication exchanges are encapsulated within TLS (Transport Layer Security). TTLS uses dynamic encryption keys for secure communications.
