Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) is a widely used authentication method that provides an added layer of security to network connections. This protocol is commonly used in Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) connections, such as those used for dial-up internet access or virtual private network (VPN) connections. The basic principle of CHAP is that it challenges the connecting client to prove their identity by providing a specific response to a unique challenge. This challenge-response mechanism is designed to prevent unauthorized access and protect against replay attacks. How CHAP Works CHAP uses a three-step process to authenticate a client. The first step is ... Read More
