Phew… How many ACRONYMS?

Here i am putting up list of new acronyms learned while studying/preparing for SNRS. Don't know how many more will follow & when dictionary will run out of acronyms but for now they seem to be coming along steadily apart from regular (not so acronym anymore) TCP,UDP, IP, FTP, SSH, HTTPS, SMTP, SNMP etc

So here we go

                 {{ Tunneling methods }}
    PEAP ► Protected EAP
    EAP-FAST ► EAP Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunnelling
    EAP-TTLS ► EAP Tunneled Transport Layer Security
                 {{ Cryptographic based }}
    EAP-TLS ► EAP Transport Layer Security
                 {{ Generic Token based }}
    EAP GTC ► EAP-Generic Token Card
EAPOL ► EAP Over LAN
ESP ► Encrypted Security Payload
