CCNA Security - Fibre Channel Authentication Protocol (FCAP)

FCAP relies on an underlying public key infrastructure (PKI) to provide enterprise-class security. By using PKI, often present in more security-conscious organizations, as a foundation element, along with a certificate-based protocol, FCAP provides numerous advantages. Central among these are strong authentication and management data integrity. For some organizations, the complexities associated with a PKI can be daunting. Thi is the only significant argument against FCAP.
