When we log into a network, when we connect to a server, we need some way to authenticate ourselves. And so thereamp;#39;s a series of protocols behind the scenes that make sure that our username and password, or any other information that weamp;#39;re providing to authenticate, is received properly and weamp;#39;re able to get access to the resources that we need. One of the first types of methods of doing this was an authentication protocol called PAP. And that stands for Password Authentication Protocol, and extremely simple, extremely basic protocol. If you recall Kerberos in an earlier video, there was a lot of encryption. There was a lot of communication to certain servers. It was a multi-headed process that took place. PAP is nothing like that. PAP is incredibly simple in the way that it works. Everything thatamp;#39;s communicated, in fact, with PAP is completely in the clear. Thereamp;#39;s no encryption here whatsoever. If I was to type my user name, [? ajames, ?] and my

In what scenario would PAP be considered a secure authentication method?

PAP is a legacy protocol that cannot be considered secure because it transmits plaintext ASCII passwords and has no cryptographic protection. The only way to ensure the security of PAP is to ensure that the endpoints established a secure tunnel (using IPSec, for instance).

What is the difference between PAP and CHAP authentication protocols?

The main difference between PAP and CHAP is that PAP uses a Two-Way Handshake and sends the password in clear-text form, whereas CHAP uses a Three-Way Handshake and never sends the password between the parties. As a result, CHAP is much more secure than PAP.

How to enable PAP authentication?

Setting Up PAP Authentication (Task Maps) Gather preconfiguration information. Collect user names and other data that is needed for authentication. Update the password database, if necessary. Ensure that all potential callers are in the servers password database. Create the PAP database. Modify the PPP configuration files.

Is authentication a PAP or CHAP?

CHAP is a stronger authentication method than PAP, because the secret is not transmitted over the link, and because it provides protection against repeated attacks during the life of the link. As a result, if both PAP and CHAP authentication are enabled, CHAP authentication is always performed first.

Is PAP authentication secure?

As the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) sends data unencrypted and in the clear, PAP is vulnerable to any attacker who can observe the PPP session.

What is the PAP authentication protocol?

PAP, or password authentication protocol, is a point-to-point protocol (PPP) authentication method that uses passwords to validate users. It is an internet standard (RFC 1334), password-based authentication protocol. Using PAP, data is not encrypted. It is sent to the authentication server as plain text.

What is the authentication protocol for PPP?

The PPP authentication protocols are Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) and Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP). Each protocol uses a secrets database that contains identification information, or security credentials, for each caller that is permitted to link to the local machine.
