PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) is an authentication protocol that involves a two-way handshake and sends the username and password across the link in clear text. This makes it easy for attackers to intercept and steal login credentials. It is not recommended to use PAP for authentication in a network. SSH (Secure Shell) is a secure network protocol that uses encryption to protect network communications and is not relevant to this question. EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is not a specific authentication protocol, but a framework for different authentication methods to be used within it. CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) is a more secure authentication protocol that uses a three-way handshake and does not send the password in clear text.
