Understanding PEAP

PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol) is a security protocol used to authenticate clients in a network by creating an encrypted TLS tunnel for transmitting authentication data. It protects against unauthorized access and ensures that client credentials are securely transmitted during the authentication process. PEAP is commonly used in wireless network environments to establish secure connections between clients and authentication servers.
