How InkBridge Networks is helping educational institutions by transforming their eduroam experience with protocol-level fixes. The scale... Network Security Best Practices
WiFi spoofing for fun and profit You can spend as much time as you want securing your RADIUS server infrastructure and the rest of your network. But are you really secureagainst WiFi spoofing attacks? In this article, we show just ho... Network Security Best Practices Security Threats and Vulnerabilities
Email addresses are primary user identifiers? There is a lot of advice out there that email addresses are not identifiers . Even Internet2 has a document explaining why email is not an appropriate user identifier . What does this mean for RADIUS,... Network Security Best Practices
IETF Bangkok 122 recap: What we're doing to advance RADIUS standards I've recently returned from IETF Bangkok, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) 122 meeting, where I spent a week working with implementers, operators, and standards authors who are defining the ... Network Security Protocols
Using FreeRADIUS with FIPS mode on compliant systems In order to create more secure systems, standards such as Federal Information Processing Standard 140-2 ( FIPS-140) are being more widely used. The FIPS standard provides for limits on which cryptogra... Network Security Protocols
Disaster-proof your network critical infrastructure If you live in an earthquake zone, it’s important to engineer buildings to survive an earthquake. You don’t know when an earthquake will happen, or where exactly, or how big it’s going to be, but you ... Network Security Best Practices
Network design for multi-site RADIUS systems Some organizations and network operators such as ISPs can use a central RADIUS service for all of their RADIUS needs. This configuration is possible when there are a small number of users, or system l... Network Security Best Practices
RADIUS Insecurity RADIUS is almost thirty years old, and uses cryptography based on MD5. Given that MD5 has been broken for over a decade, what are the implications for RADIUS? Why is RADIUS still using MD5? RADIUS sti... Network Security Protocols
Announcing SRADIUS RADIUS has used MD5 for security for almost thirty years. It is time to use a modern alternative: SRADIUS! We just released an Internet-Draft which defines “Secure RADIUS”, or “SRADIUS”. We also have ... Network Security Protocols
Introducing RADIUS 1.1 RADIUS has a problem. The name of the problem is MD5. The MD5 hash algorithm was defined in 1991, and was used in RADIUS in 1993. However, MD5 is no longer secure. It is a bit of a miracle that RADIUS... Network Security Best Practices Network Security Protocols
Looking Forward to IETF 122 We have been involved in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) for a few decades now. During that time, we have written many of the RADIUS standards. We are still involved in the standards proces... Network Security Protocols
