similar to Web server authentication using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.
This method uses digital certificates to verify the identity of a client and server.
TTLS: TTLS authentication uses certificates to authenticate the server, and
a simpler method to authenticate the client, all the while maintaining similar
security properties to TLS like mutual authentication and a shared secret for
session.WEP.key.
