Question

Which phase uses the Extensible Authentication Protocol?

(a) Discovery

(b) Authentication

(d) Protected Data Transfer

This question was addressed to me in homework.

The origin of the question is IEEE 802.11i WLAN Security in chapter Wireless Network Security and Network Security Overview of Cryptograph & Network Security

Answer 1

The correct option is (b) Authentication

For explanation I would say: EAP belongs to the Authentication Phase and is defined in the IEEE 802.1X standard.
