Which field within the access-request packet is encrypted by RADIUS?

Answer options

• A. authorized services
• B. password
• C. authenticator
• D. username

The correct answer is B, as RADIUS specifically encrypts the password field to protect sensitive authentication credentials during transmission. The other fields such as authorized services, authenticator, and username are not encrypted, making them vulnerable to interception.
