Introduction with 802.1x WiFi Authentication

802.1x authentication solves problems related to password or port security network protocols by requiring that the user be authenticated, regardless of the device. For that reason, we recommend that business and professional environments use this AAA authentication, authorization, and accounting framework as a standard measure.<br>

  2. Introduction of 802.1x Wi-Fi Authentication As more and more devices join public wi-fi networks, concerns about user authentication and security continue to dominate the conservation. This is especially true when discussing the proper security protocols for larger scale guest wifi networks that load hundreds, thousands, or even millions of users a day. Without the necessary security measures, users of the shared network are left vulnerable. Those who operate the network may also find the network unmanageable. As a basic security standard, high traffic public wifi must be configured with enterprise WPA protocols. Extensible Authentication Protocol over LANs (EAPoL) and Remote Authentication Dial Up User Service (RADIUS) server. This makes 802.1x inherently more secure than its WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK standards that require a shared password for all users to access the network.

  3. When to consider 802.1x Wi-fi Authentication When an internet user logs into a WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK network (PSK stands for "Preset Key") authentication occurs when the user enters the correct network security key/password. This allows the user's machine or device to join, operate, and potentially control the network without identifying credentials. TThis becomes especially problematic when businesses with connected computers, boxes, and IoT devices - share their corenetwork with their customers. As more and more users log into your guest wifi, it is virtually impossible to know exactly who is using your network or who knows the passwords. Changing the password frequently to remove unwanted users from the network is also time-consuming and inefficient.

  4. The 802.1x Authentication Process Explained There are three parties to 802.1x Wi-Fi Authentication that work together to allow a user to log in to a given network: the supplicant, the authenticator, and the authentication server. The supplicant attempting to join an SSID network is first denied access to an authenticator. The communication that occurs between the requester and the authenticator is part of the EAPoL protocol and contains ethernet frames that carry the requesters unique login credentials for a particular network. Depending on the level of security required authenticators may request additional details or interactions from the requesters.
