- juhanima 13y agoYes, check out the many variations of the EAP and PEAP authentication protocols. Client authenticates the access point by its certificate, client gets authenticated by his/her client certificate. While some combinations have some flaws, like MSCHAPv2 may have too short keys for instance, there are others that I consider quite solid. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensible_Authentication_Protocol http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensible_Authentication_Proto... EDIT: Sorry for having repeated some of the stuff bjornsing already said. Should read through more carefully before rushing to comment, I guess.
- bjornsing 13y agoYes, and even WPA-PSK (with a strong pass phrase) has trustworthy mutual authentication: your device will (or should) not connect to a rouge AP that doesn't know the PSK.
