Question

The security administrator for Corp has been directed by the CIO to implement a secure wireless authentication method that uses a remote RADIUS server for authentication. Which of the following authentication methods should be used?A. CHAP.

B. LEAP.
C. MS-CHAP.
D. PAP.

Answer 1

B. LEAP.

Step-by-step explanation:

LEAP is an acronym for Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol. It is a Cisco proprietary 802.1X authentication type for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) and an older version of Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). LEAP is based on Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) and supports a strong mutual handshake or authentication using a logon password between a RADIUS server and the user.

Hence, the security administrator for corp.com should use the LEAP authentication method as it provides dynamic per-user, encryption keys and per-session.
