Cisco EAP–FAST (Extensible Authentication Protocol – Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling) is a two–phase protocol that is used on wireless networks to authenticate users, and is very similar to TLS/SSL in its operation. It is more secure than other authentication protocols such as LEAP, because of the secure tunneling that takes place between the client and the server when using EAP–FAST. This tunneling can be used to encrypt all data that is sent during the transmission, thus providing an additional layer of security for a user‘s credentials. The protocol is also often used with 802.1X Authentication for added protection.
