    • CHAP: Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) is a method of periodically verifying the identity of the peer using a 3-way handshake. During the establishment of a link, the authenticator sends a "challenge" message to the peer. The peer responds with a value calculated using a "one-way hash" function. The authenticator checks the response against its own calculation of the expected hash value. If the values match, the authentication is acknowledged.
