Security and privacy for the next wireless generation

Abstract

SUMMARYThis paper presents research performed during the last 4 years (2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007), in order to design applications (usually referred as EAP smart cards) which enhance security and privacy in emerging WLAN infrastructures. It introduces smart cards ensuring strong authentication in IP networks, according to the extensible authentication protocol (EAP). An open software implementation has been released for Java cards. These devices may be deployed on clients' terminals (such as IEEE 802.1X supplicants) or in RADIUS servers. Experimental results, observed with platforms including win32 computers, Wi-Fi access points and smart card enabled RADIUS servers, demonstrate that this approach is realistic, even with today's smart cards.

An Innovative Solution for Cloud Computing Authentication: Grids of EAP-TLS Smart Cards

“…The performance of a single EAP server card linked with a single client has been previously measured [8][9] [10]. Another type of java cards was used in our current architecture, but the results we obtained are similar, albeit slightly less efficient.…”

“…In this paper we focus on arrays of EAP-TLS smart cards deployed in grids. These devices run the OpenEapSmartcard JAVA open stack, introduced in [10], and which comprises four logical components (see figure 1):…”

TLS-Tandem: A Smart Card for WEB Applications

“…It executes the java card package OpenEapSmartcard [1], [2], [3] that runs an EAP-TLS (RFC 5216) method, i.e. transparent encapsulation of the TLS protocol over EAP packets (RFC 3748).…”

Design in the Authentication and Billing System Based on Radius and 802.1x Protocol

“…Ping Ding considered that the 802.1x misses its goals in access control denial of service (DoS) attacks and propose a Central Manager (CM) not only to take the responsibility of an authentication server, but also to add functionality to prevent denial of service attacks [1]; Pascal Urien and Guy Pujolle introduced smart cards ensuring strong authentication in IP networks, according to the extensible authentication protocol (EAP) [2]; Fanbao Liu and Yumeng Feng have a study on the security problem of PPPoE network [3]; Gaurav Sharma made use of currency like hash chain tokens in order to identify an efficient authentication and billing mechanism for faster handoffs in WLANs based on the IEEE 802.1x specification [4]. This paper not only compares the advantages and disadvantages between different internet protocols but also propose a solution integrate both of International Symposium on Computers & Informatics (ISCI 2015) the advantage of 802.1x and radius in order to the network protocol overhead and improve the network performance.…”
