  1. Joining eduroam Wireless Roaming for Higher Education and Research chris.myers@grangenet.net EuroCAMP ver 2.7

  2. Global working Group

  3. Global Working Group A Global Working Group has been setup. There is an open email list to share The first meeting was at EuroCAMP 2005 The second meeting was held after the I2 members meeting. The third meeting was yesterday We have a conference call when required.

  4. Global Working Group What are we doing. Working on standards and systems for safe roaming internationally. eduroam NG (next generation). Peering policies and frameworks. There are representatives from Europe, USA and ASIA PAC

  5. Global Working Group • Current eduroam environment • Hierarchy of radius proxies • shared key security • Manual configuration of all links

  6. Global Working Group • Future eduroam environment • Radius discovery • PKI secured links • Via radiator, diameter or FreeRADIUS versions • Possible SHIB attribute passing.

  7. The APAN Region Future direction and update

  8. What is eduroam’s core requirement? eduroam allows roving researchers to log-in, with their usual “user name/password”, to wireless networks at participating campuses around the world and transparently get access to resources. This is the mission statement This is what we needs to be delivered

  9. Eduroam in APAN Region • Federated • Australia • 17 sites • Taiwan • 51 sites • Interest in • Japan • China • Korea • New Zealand • AU University in Vietnam

  10. National Science and Technology Program for Telecommunications Global Cross-Campus WLAN Roaming based on Distributed Authentication Mechanism Project Members: Yung-Chi Yang c00ycy00@nchc.org.tw Ko-Chung Tang kevin@nchc.org.tw Wei-Hung Huang a00whl00@nchc.org Wei-Wen Chen c00cyw00@nchc.org.tw

  11.

And over 500,000 user accounts are being served.

  12. WLAN Roaming Architecture

  13. RADIUS Server (in campus) Roaming Center (NCHC) Roaming Server (Linux Red Hat/Fedora) Firewall OpenVPND RADIUS Server with Proxy ( FreeRadius, SNMP enabled ) Roaming Server – Software Architecture VPN TUNNEL • The “FreeRADIUS” implements the RADIUS protocol and uses the RADIUS-Proxy to communication with Roaming Center. • The “Firewall” controls the access right to Roaming Server. • The “OpenVPND” builds the secure tunnel between Roaming Server and Roaming Center. • Roaming Center uses the “SNMP” to monitor the status of Roaming Server.

  14. Eduroam in APAN Region • Top Level servers • Server 1 • Australia • coming on-line soon • Server 2 • Looking for a home.

  15. Eduroam in APAN Region • This will be run as a service. • (in this region) • Which means • Security • Education • Monitoring • Granular Control • Policies • Service Levels • IPv6

  16. What does Security mean? • Minimum standards • 802.1x • WPA TKIP on AP’s • EAP TTLS Auth • Why • The security level of this service is only as strong as the weakest site. • Wavers will be available for fixed times.

  17. What does Security mean? • Future standards • 802.11i • WPA2 AES on AP’s • EAP SAML ? • The next wave of magic • Integration with • Shib • A-Select • Or Other

  18. What does Security mean? • Why not web redirect • We don’t share our password with others • (Not Secure ) • Why not VPN • Which VPN ? • ACL / XML lists of how long • (1006 sites x 2 VPN x 16 firewall rules = 32192 lines) • (not Scalable)

  19. What does Security mean? • Why WPA TKIP • Open all traffic is clear. • WEP is hacked (all traffic is clear). • WPA and TKIP is in most AP’s now a good level of security. • Why EAP-TTLS • Secure PAP password exchange • Many supplicants are available. • 802.1x is worth the pain.

  20. What does Education mean? • Training • Support • Debugging • Site Visits Skills can be imported

  21. What does Monitoring mean? • Servers • What’s up? • What’s down? • What’s the impact? • Who to contact? (this is only half the story)

  22. What does Monitoring mean? • Service • Is Auth up? • Is Auth down? (where) • What’s the impact? • Who to contact? • Must be end to end. • I like to know this before the clients

  23. What does Granular Control mean? • How do we identify. • How do we suspend access. • How can a client obtain their roaming data. • This will empower users and providers

  24. What does Policies mean? • Policies support and protect. • The service • The provider • The client • The Australian Policy is complete. • (Ratification is in its final stages) • This work has been completed by • James Sankar of AARNet

  25. What does Service Levels mean? • As a service • We need to define the service. • We need to set response times. • We need to supply a level of service to our clients.

  26. What does IPv6 mean? • IPv6 is fundamental in this region. • All eduroam type services need to work on v6. • (not all sites but the service) • We will be looking closely at v6 mobility. • And also IPsec for secure roaming.

  27. What You Need to play

  28. International eduroam portals

  29. Local NREN eduroam Portal. • Elements of a portal • Local information • Services • Participants • Policies • Technology • International links • Information for roaming • Mail lists • How to contact Groups

  30. Local NREN eduroam Portal. • Data Mining • Who’s interested. • Where are they from. • Are you hitting your targets

  31. Local NREN eduroam Portal. • Did any one read the news release • Put links in your news release (this helps) • How can I exploit this information

  32. Local NREN eduroam Portal. • Feed Back and help. • Feed back is important. • for the program. • for the NREN. • for the Institute. • For the user. • Use detailed user guides on portal • Put in links to the WIKI forum. • The user that can help themselves don’t call.  WIKI forum page

  33. Team Requirements What people are required for EduRoam • The wireless people • Basic wireless administration skills. • The directory people • Average Radius administrative skills. • The security people. • Average firewall/ACL skills • The desktop support. • Basic to Average skills • Its not about the technology that’s easy.

  34. Team Requirements What the people require from EduRoam • Trust. • Policy. • Reactive, collaborative, community. • Policy. • For the NREN. • See people • Its all about the People.

  35. Local Wireless Implementation 802.1x Tools • SecureW2 Alfa & Ariss • SecureW2 for Windows platforms is the cost effective and most robust client solution for deploying 802.1X networks. The SecureW2 Client enables EAP-TTLS using the standard Microsoft IEEE 802.1X Client currently available for Windows 2000, Windows XP and Pocket PC 2003. • Now open source

  36. Local Wireless Implementation Cisco 1200 Series Access Point setup for EduRoam • Under Security, Encryption Manager. • Select VLAN in drop down box under Set Encryption Mode and Key for VLAN. • Select Cipher in Encryption Modes. • Select TKIP in Cipher drop down box. • Clear Encryption keys. • Select Encryption key 2.
