Množina: Protected Extensible Authentication Protocols

An authentication protocol developed by Cisco for wireless networking.
Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) is an 802.1x wireless networking authentication protocol that uses passwords to authenticate clients and certificates to authenticate servers. On the server side PEAP uses Extensible Authentication Protocol— Transport Layer Security (EAP-TLS), while client authentication is designed to support legacy pass-word-based authentication protocols and also one-time passwords (OTPs). PEAP is based on an Internet-Draft standard that Cisco, together with Microsoft and RSA Security, has submitted to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). PEAP is supported by Cisco’s Aironet line of wireless network access point products.

Množina: protected modes

An operating mode of the Intel 80286 and higher microprocessors that supports larger address spaces and more advanced features than real mode. When started in protected mode, these CPUs provide hardware support for multitasking, data security, and virtual memory. The Windows (version 3.0 and later) and OS/2 operating systems run in protected mode, as do most versions of UNIX for these microprocessors. Compare real mode.
Operating mode of Intel microprocessors (80286 and above), which allows multitasking and provides other features such as extended memory and virtual memory (above 1 Gbyte). Protected mode operation also improves data security.
