But choosing an eap type to use with wpa2 is left to the consumer. Peap is similar in design to eap ttls, requiring only a serverside pki certificate to create a secure tls tunnel to protect user authentication, and uses serverside public key certificates to authenticate the server. Eaptls was the first eap authentication technique required for wpawpa2. Unless you are doing eap tls only with mutual cert auth its usually open season on anyone authenticating peapttls unless. Eap tls is an involved configuration, please refer to your radius vendor documentation for configuration specifics. We have some people who believe we should switch over to certificate based authentication instead using wpa2 enterprise with eaptls. Wps is a feature on most wireless routers and access points.
Once radius has been configured appropriately, please refer to our documentation for instructions on configuring an ssid for wpa2 enterprise with radius. Wifi security wpa2 enterprise with eaptls vs peap with. Asleap captures ms chap v2 challengeresponse pairs andor can be used to crack users passwords via dictionary attacks or even bruteforce. Wpa2enterprise with active directory and peapeaptls. On my wireless router it has the option to choose between psk and eap. In this video we configure ise to authorize ad users authenticating with peap eap tls for a wpa2 enterprise ssid. A brief outline of several wireless configuration scenarios and a highlevel. Originally, only eaptls extensible authentication protocol transport layer security was certified by the wifi alliance. The weak aspect of this implementation by cisco is that the phase 0 timeframe pac provisioning allows an attacker to setup a fake ap and possibly capture the encrypted. Both eap ttls and peap use tls transport layer security over eap extensible authentication protocol as you may know, tls is a newer version of ssl and works based on certificates signed by a trusted central authority certification authority ca. Second, the password hash can be cracked guessed by using words in a. Wifi protected access wpa, wifi protected access ii wpa2, and wifi protected access 3. I have typically set up wireless for large organizations with wpa2 enterprise using peap with mschapv2 which prompts users for ad credentials to authenticate, taken care of by radius servers.
This video is the second of a series of 7, explaining eap tls and peap configuration on the cisco wireless networking solution.

A technical guide to modern wireless network testing lmg security. Wpa2 enterprise is the most commonly used method to encrypt traffic and along with eap tls certificate based authentication, peap is a popular method to authenticate clients. Remember the old cisco leap implementation that was vulnerable to offline bruteforce attacks due to sending users ms chap v2 challengeresponse outside of a secure connection. The authenticator is a radius server remote authentication. This first video explains what peap is, and what you need to.
