key, but uses stronger TKIP encryption. EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) 
is an extension to the PPP protocol that enables a variety of authentication 
protocols to be used. It passes through the exchange of authentication messages, 
allowing the authentication software stored in a server to interact with its 
counterpart in the client.

 LEAP 
Authentication 
 
 
LEAP (Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol) also known as Cisco-
Wireless EAP provides username/password-based authentication between a 
wireless client and a RADIUS server.  LEAP is one of several protocols used with 
the IEEE 802.1X standard for LAN port access control. LEAP also delivers a 
session key to the authenticated station, so that future frames can be encrypted 
with a key that is different than keys used by others sessions. Dynamic key 
delivery eliminates one big vulnerability; static encryption keys that are shared by 
all stations in the WLAN. EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an 
extension to the PPP protocol that enables a variety of authentication protocols 
to be used. It passes through the exchange of authentication messages, allowing 
the authentication software stored in a server to interact with its counterpart in the 
client
