Challenge Host<br />

Authentication Protocol<br />

The PAP methods transmission of the password in clear text posses<br />

significant security issues. Fortunately pppd also supports the<br />

Challenge Host Authentication Protocol (CHAP) which does not suffer<br />

from this weakness.<br />

However, with CHAP the pppd process never acquires an unencrypted<br />

copy of the users password, breaking the ability to use underlying<br />

authentication mechanisms such as P<strong>AM</strong>. This leaves the administator<br />

having to maintain user passwords in the chap-secrets file (usually<br />

found in /etc/ppp/).
