Authentication Protocol is the level of security checking between the two ends.
a
PAP – Password Authentication Protocol, provides a simple method for the peer to establish its
identity using a 2-way handshake. This is done only upon initial link establishment.
b
CHAP - Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol is used to periodically verify the identity
of the peer using a 3-way handshake. This is done upon initial link establishment, and MAY be
repeated anytime after the link has been established.
