Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) is a very secure authentication method. True or false?
True
False
A password authentication protocol (PAP) is an authentication protocol that uses a password.
PAP is used by Point to Point Protocol to validate users before allowing them access to server resources. Almost all network operating system remote servers support PAP.
PAP transmits unencrypted ASCII passwords over the network and is therefore considered insecure. It is used as a last resort when the remote server does not support a stronger authentication protocol, like CHAP or EAP (the latter is actually a framework).
