Explanation
WPA2 and EAP are two authentication protocols that can be used to secure a basic wireless network. WPA2 stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 and it is a security standard that provides strong encryption and authentication for wireless networks. WPA2 supports two modes: personal and enterprise. In personal mode, WPA2 uses a pre-shared key (PSK) that is shared among all wireless devices. In enterprise mode, WPA2 uses an authentication server, such as a RADIUS server, to verify the identity of each wireless device. EAP stands for Extensible Authentication Protocol and it is a framework that allows different methods of authentication to be used over wireless networks. EAP works with WPA2 enterprise mode to provide more flexibility and security for wireless authentication. EAP supports various methods, such as EAP-TLS, EAP-FAST, PEAP, and LEAP, that use certificates, passwords, or tokens to authenticate wireless devices.
