+ <para>With Transport Level Security, the client and server mutually authenticate using the TLS protocol. The server demonstrates that it holds a digital certificate, the client proves its own identity using its client-side certificate, and key information is exchanged. Once authentication is complete, the TLS tunnel is no longer used. Instead, the client and server use the exchanged keys to encrypt data using AES, TKIP or WEP.</para>
+ <para>The fact that certificates must be distributed to all clients who want to authenticate means that the the EAP-TLS authentication method is very strong, but also more complicated to set up. Using TLS security requires the overhead of a public key infrastructure (PKI) to manage certificates. The benefit to TLS security is that a compromised password does not allow access to the (W)LAN: an intruder must also have access to the authenticating client's private key.</para>
