<div><p><strong>Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP-MD5)</strong> uses
an algorithm (MD-5) to calculate a value that is known only to the authenticating
system and the remote device.</p>
<div class="section"><p>With CHAP, the user ID and the password are always encrypted,
so it is a more secure protocol than Password Authentication Protocol
(PAP). This protocol is effective against playback and trial-and-error access
attempts. CHAP authentication can occur more than once during a connection.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>The authenticating system sends a challenge to the remote device
that is attempting to connect to the network. The remote device responds with
a value that is calculated by a common algorithm (MD-5) that both devices
use. The authenticating system checks the response against its own calculation.
Authentication is acknowledged when the values match; otherwise, the connection
is ended.</p>
