Which of the following gives the best explanation of the differences between RADIUS and TACACS+? TACACS+ employs the UDP protocol, whereas RADIUS uses the TCP protocol. RADIUS is supported by the Cisco Secure ACS software, although TACACS+ is not supported. TACACS+ just encrypts the password, while RADIUS encrypts all of the communication that takes place. In contrast to TACACS+, which keeps authentication and authorization distinct procedures, RADIUS combines both processes into a single flow.
