The EAP smartcard,or the ultimate link of the Wi-Fi security chain.Technical Papers
"Wireless LANs based on the IEEE 802.11b have emerged as a new standard but still a lot of security issues remain. One of them issues is the authentication of a terminal to an access point (AP). The IEEE is currently finalizing a framework for security in IEEE 802 networks: IEEE 802.1x that is an approved draft, based on the extensible authentication protocol (EAP). On another hand, among token technologies, smartcards currently offer the best combination of flexibility, security, and cost among token technologies. They have been chosen by the DoD to be widely deployed. Therefore it becomes difficult to speak about security without evoking smartcards. We have focused our work on the integration of smartcards for authentication in wireless networks. In this paper, we will present a smartcard embedding EAP and will show that smartcards could constitute the de-facto device for authentication in Wireless LAN as they have been for GSM and will be for UMTS.""The EAP smartcard. A tamper resistant device dedicated to 802.11 wireless networks", ASWN2003, The 3rd IEEE workshop on Applications and Services in Wireless Networks, Berne, Switzerland, July 2003.
"This paper introduces the architecture of a new type of smartcards dedicated to security in wireless networks. Their functionalities have been described in a recent internet draft in which we propose an interface to integrate the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) into smartcards. These devices ensure security features, such as authentication or visitor’s credentials needed for services deployment in 802.11 wireless environments.""EAP-TLS Smartcards, from Dream to Reality", ASWN 2004, The 4th IEEE workshop on Applications and Services in Wireless Networks, Boston, Massachusetts, USA, August 2004.
" This paper presents the first implementation of the EAP-TLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol Transport Layer Security) protocol in smartcards. Tests, performed on two java devices, are discussed and analysed. Results show that TLS processing is slow, because smartcards are not (yet) optimized for that purpose; however we clearly demonstrate that TLS processing in smartcards is not today a dream, and can be realized with existing components."French Papers.
