Abstract:
When a mobile device (referred to as Station (STA) in this work)
tries to connect to a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), it needs to
first perform mutual authentication with the EAP server of the
network. As a result of successful authentication, a Pairwise Master
Key (PMK) will be generated, and distributed to the STA and the
Authenticator of the network by the EAP server respectively. The PMK
is used for securing the subsequent communications between the STA
and the Wireless Termination Point (WTP) it attaches to. In
practice, the authenticator may not be deployed on the WTP. In this
case, an approach is required to help the WTP to obtain the PMK.
This work tries to discuss the issues related with this topic and
proposes a RADIUS extension to address the problem.
