while I agree that EAP is the obvious and most secure choice, doesn't CHAP use 
MD5 for its hashing mechanism? 

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk713/tk507/technologies_tech_note09186a00800b4131.shtml

Then again it seems that CHAP requires a cleartext password that ends up 
getting rehashed on every challenge. So in that sense, I see your point.

Subject: Re: [OSL | CCIE_RS] PPP authentication with radius

Hi Marc,

CHAP is not using md5 but a challenge/response mechanism. EAP is the only ppp 
authentication method available using md5... So I gues you didn't get the 
points here.

Christophe
