A Technical Comparison of TTLS and PEAP
Overview Selection of an authentication method is the key decision in securing a wireless LAN deployment. The authentication method drives the choice of authentication server, which in turn drives the choice of client software. Fortunately, selecting an authentication method is a reasonably straightforward endeavor. Unless one has a well-oiled PKI already deployed, bypass Extensible Authentication Protocol-Transport Layer Security (EAP-TLS) to avoid the client certificate headaches. Though there is not a large technical difference between the Tunneled Transport Layer Security (TTLS) and Protected EAP (PEAP) protocols, TTLS has a number of slight advantages. In addition to a slight degree of flexibility at the protocol level, products are available now and support a much wider variety of client operating systems.
