Gendu Zhang · Jisuanji gongcheng · 2004
IEEE802.1x standard is a secure supplement for the current IEEE802.11 standard. But the IEEE group has proposed a security architecture, which they call the robust security network (RSN). The RSN utilizes the IEEE802.1x standard as a basis for access control, authentication, and key management. Extensible authentication protocol is an important standard to IEEE802.1x standard. The protocol provides an authentication framework for local network based on 802 standard. This paper analyzes some problems in the application of EAP and provides some possible solutions.
