In computing, the Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) is an authentication protocol used to log on a user to an Internet access provider.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHAP
Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol. A type of authentication protocol in which the authentication agent sends the client program a key to be used to encrypt the user name and password. CHAP doesn't only require the client to authenticate itself at startup time, but sends challenges at regular intervals to make sure the client hasn't been replaced by an intruder, for instance by switching phone lines. Also see PAP.

CHAP is a more secure procedure for connecting to a system with PPP. CHAP is defined in RFC 1334. After the link is made, the server sends a challenge message to the connection requestor. The requestor responds with a value obtained by using a one-way hash function. The server checks the response by comparing it to its own calculation of the expected hash value. If the values match, the authentication is acknowledged; otherwise the connection is usually terminated. ...

An authentication scheme that uses a three-way handshake (challenge, response, and verify messages) to authenticate the identity of the peer. The client transmits a response to the server's challenge message; if the server verifies the response the authentication is successful, otherwise a failure results in link termination. The handshake can take place once at initial link establishment or multiple times during a session and each time with a unique challenge message. Contrast to PAP. Top
