Introduction

WPA-EAP and WPA2-EAP is ideal for businesses that have existing security

infrastructures in place. Management and security implementation can now be

centralized on a server participating on the network. Utilizing 802.1x with a RADIUS

(Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service) server, a network adminstrator can deﬁne

a list of authorized users

who can access the wireless LAN. When attempting to access

a wireless LAN with either WPA-EAP or WPA2-EAP conﬁgured, the new client will

be challenged with a username and password.

If the new client is authorized by the

administration, and enters the correct username and password, then access is granted.

In a scenario where an employee leaves the company, the network administrator can

remove the employee from the authorized list and not have to worry about the network

being compromised by a former employee. WPA2-EAP is far superior to WPA-EAP,

because the encryption of data is upgraded with the Advanced Encryption Standard

(AES).

802.1x: Authentication which is a ﬁrst line of defense against intrusion. In the

authentication process, the Authentication Server veriﬁes the identity of the client

attempting to connect to the network. Unfamiliar clients would be denied access.

EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is available through the Windows

Operating System. You will need to use the same type of EAP protocol on all the devices

in your network when using the 802.1x feature.
