802.1X authentication for wireless LANs has three main components: The supplicant (usually the client software); the authenticator (usually the access point); and the authentication server (usually a Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service server, although RADIUS is not specifically required by 802.1X). And authentication occurs before association.
