Does the ZeroShell RADIUS server support WPA and 802.11i (WPA2) protocol to protect the wireless networks?
Both the WPA and the WPA2 use the frame 802.1x encrypted keys as an authentication and keys generation system. Since the ZeroShell RADIUS server (FreeRadius) supports 802.1x with the authentication methods EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS and PEAP with Ms-Chapv2, WPA and WPA2 are automatically supported. Note however that since WPA2 requires an encrypted layer with the modern AES encryption algorithm, you will need to check that the hardware used (Accesspoint and Wi-Fi cards) support this encryption. Instead, the WPA uses the RC4 mechanism as coding (as for WEP, but without security problems due to static key access), even old hardware generally works well. At most, an update is required of the firmware and driver. • When configured, the supplicant on my computer, must choose the authentication method among EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS and PEAP. What is involved? The 802.1x is an authentication frame, that is, the actual method via which user validation occurs, it is negotiated among those simultaneously availa
