(Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol) - An authentication method that can be used when connecting to an Internet Service Provider CHAP allows you to login to your provider automatically, without the need for a terminal screen It is more secure than the Password Authentication Protocol (another widely used authentication method) since it does not send passwords in text format
(usually in the plural) leather leggings without a seat; joined by a belt; often have flared outer flaps; worn over trousers by cowboys to protect their legs a crack in a lip caused usually by cold a boy or man; "that chap is your host"; "there's a fellow at the door"; "he's a likable cuss"
Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol A security feature that prevents unauthorized access to devices running the feature CHAP is only supported on lines using PPP encapsulation
(Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) - Is a security feature supported on lines using PPP encapsulation that prevents unauthorised access , CHAP does not itself prevent unauthorised access , it merely identifies the remote end, though is a more secure procedure for connecting to a system than PAP The router or access server then determines whether that user is permitted access See Also: PPP, PAP Go to top
1. A chap is a man or boy. She thought he was a very nice chap. = bloke, guy see also chapped. Chap. is a written abbreviation for chapter. Today the best tests are performed in the hospital. A sore roughening or splitting of the skin, caused especially by cold or exposure. A man or boy; a fellow
Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol Security feature supported on lines using PPP encapsulation that prevents unauthorized access CHAP does not itself prevent unauthorized access, it merely identifies the remote end The router or access server then determines whether that user is allowed access
Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol: protocol used by ISPs to authenticate their clients In this scheme, a value is sent to the client (the machine who connects), the client calculates a hash from this value which it sends to the server, and the server compares the hash with the one it has calculated See also PAP
(Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol) -- An authentication scheme used by PPP servers to validate the identity of the originator of the connection upon connection or any time later CHAP applies a three-way handshaking procedure
A security (authentication) protocol used with PPP It sends an encrypted hash of the password to the client for comparison to the password entered It does not send the password over the PPP connection Windows CE and the Pocket PC do not support encrypted CHAP password authentication
Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol A type of authentication protocol in which the authentication agent sends the client program a key to be used to encrypt the user name and password CHAP doesn't only require the client to authenticate itself at startup time, but sends challenges at regular intervals to make sure the client hasn't been replaced by an intruder, for instance by switching phone lines Also see PAP
Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol This security protocol allows access between data communications systems prior to and during data transmission
Challenge Handshake Authentification Protocol Authentification scheme for PPP where the password not only is required to begin connection but is also required during the connection - failure to provide a correct password during either the login or challenge mode will result in disconnect
(Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) Authentication scheme for PPP where the password not only is required to begin connection but also is required during the connection - failure to provide correct password during either login or challenge mode will result in disconnect
