Answer: A

Explanation:

PEAP is not an encryption protocol; as with other EAP types it only authenticates a client into a network.

PEAP uses only server-side public key certificates to authenticate clients by creating an encrypted SSL/ TLS tunnel between the client and the authentication server, which protects the ensuing exchange of authentication information from casual inspection. http://wiki.freeradius.org/protocol/EAP-PEAP
