Exam 200-355 Question id=2496 802.11 Technology Fundamentals

Which EAP protocol requires a certificate only on the server side?

A. EAP-PEAP
B. EAP-FAST
C. EAP-TLS
D. EAP-SSL

PEAP is not an encryption protocol; as with other EAP types it only authenticates a client into a network.
PEAP uses only server-side public key certificates to authenticate clients by creating an encrypted SSL/TLS tunnel between the client and the authentication server, which protects the ensuing exchange of authentication information from casual inspection.
