CHAP is an authentication scheme used by [[Point to Point Protocol|Point to Point Protocol (PPP)]] servers to validate the identity of remote clients. CHAP periodically verifies the identity of the [[client (computing)|client]] by using a [[Handshaking|three-way handshake]]. This happens at the time of establishing the initial [[Link Control Protocol|link (LCP)]], and may happen again at any time afterwards. The verification is based on a [[shared secret]] (such as the client's password).<ref name="Forouzan2007">{{cite book|author=Forouzan|title=Data
