network. It also restricts unauthorized users from accessing transmitted information by using
secure authentication certificates.

verify and authenticate a user's identity.

LEAP

Select this option to enable LEAP authentication, which is based on mutual authentication.
The AP and the connecting mobile computer require authentication before gaining access to
the network.

TTLS
