Which forms of the validation can PPP use to authenticate a remote server?
- A.
CHAP
- B.
Domain account
- C.
PAP and this
- D.
KPA
Correct Answer
A. CHAPExplanation
PPP can use CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) to authenticate a remote server. CHAP is a secure authentication method that involves a three-way handshake process. During this process, the server sends a challenge to the remote server, which responds with a hashed value of the challenge and a secret password. The server then compares the received hashed value with its own calculation to verify the authenticity of the remote server. CHAP provides a higher level of security compared to other authentication methods like PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) or KPA (Keyed-Hashing for Message Authentication).Rate this question:
