Microsoft will, as the mysterious security of Microsoft's forthcoming home wireless products. Thanks to readers for the snap of XP SP1's wireless properties, showing Protected EAP security enabled, and for a couple of useful links. Microsoft Technet's Cable Guy discusses PEAP in the July column, and over at Sifry's Alerts there are a few pertinent comments.

Dave Sifry suggests that, because the Access Points (APs) will need to be able to handle multiple TLS sessions, they'll need to be more powerful than the current generation that's on sale. Sifry also says that "each access point must now have a TLS certificate, which is fine if you're VeriSign or if you're shelling out the dough for Microsoft's CA implementation across your organization." This would certainly be the case if you were running a local wireless network that did not use an authentication server (and would indeed chew up a lot of horsepower), but Technet's Cable Guy describes a scenario which uses PEAP and MS-CHAP V2 with an authentication server, simply using the AP as a pass through device.
