EAP Type

GTC – GTC is an authentication protocol that allows the exchange
of clear text authentication credentials across the network.

TLS – TLS is the most secure of the EAP protocols, but is not
easy to use. It requires that digital certificates be exchanged in the
authentication phase. The server presents a certificate to the
client. After validating the server’s certificate, the client presents a
client certificate to the server for validation.

LEAP – LEAP is a pre-EAP, Cisco-proprietary protocol with many
of the features of EAP protocols. Cisco controls the ability of other
vendors to implement this protocol, so it should be selected for
use only when limited vendor choice for client, access-point and
server products is not a concern. When you have set up LEAP
authentication, you need to enter the user name and password of
your computer.

PEAP & TTLS – PEAP and TTLS are similar and easier than TLS
in that they specify that a stand-alone authentication protocol be
used within an encrypted tunnel. TTLS supports any protocol
within its tunnel, including CHAP, MSCHAP, MSCHAPv2 and
PAP. PEAP specifies that an EAP-compliant authentication
protocol must be used; this adapter supports MD5, TLS, GTC
(Generic Token Card) and MSCHAPv2.
