Hi everybody.

I hope everyone is doing fine.

The WPA  and  WPA 2standards have adopted IEEE 802.1X with five EAP types as the official authentication mechanisms.

What are those five methods ?

Thanks and have a great week.

Thanks Karthik. 

I thought WPA/WPA2 supports only five Eap methods for 802.1x. I understand that there are  many EAP methods some are vendor specific ,some are are rfc based.  WPA /WPA2 includes some of those methods not all. According to a wkipedia link on EAP, there are 5 EAP methods  supported in WPA/WPA2.
