TACACS+: Provides three protocols (one each for authentication, authorization, and accounting). This allows each service to be provided by a different server. Uses TCP port 49. Encrypts the entire packet contents, not just authentication packets. Supports more protocol suites than RADIUS. RADIUS is used by Microsoft servers for centralized remote access administration. RADIUS: Combines authentication and authorization using policies to grant access. Allows the separation of accounting to different servers.

RADIUS encrypts only the password using MD5.
