Hi All<br />
<br />
I'm trying to learn about EAP and how it works with WPA2 Enterprise in terms of securing the authentication mechanism.<br />
<br />
I had some questions:<br />
<br />
1. Would I be correct in saying, as mentioned in another of my questions, that with WPA2 Authentication, EAP is a form of securiing the authentication mechanism. This can be via certificates (e.g. EAP TLS) or pre-shared keys (EAP-PSK)/<br />
<br />
2. With EAP-TLS, how are the certificates generated and how are they installed on the client?<br />

Using EAP for WPA2 Enterprise access

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.

Wireless Networking

Encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. In an encryption scheme, the intended communication information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients, but not to unauthorized interceptors.
