| Abstract: |
Enterprise networks are now well established and there exists many standards which are used to guarantee security and provide mechanisms for devices and users to attach to the LAN or WLAN. An example of this is eduroam[1] which is built on top of IEEE 802.1X[2] to allow academics and students from participating institutions to securely roam to networks all over the world using their home institutions credentials. While eduroam has proven massively successful, the guarantee of secured roaming and access is based on the assumption that user’s devices (that is to say, their supplicants) are configured correctly and fully. While BYOD users need to configure their devices to facilitate access, it is possible to partially configure the supplicant so that access is granted but the end device is not fully secured against all methods of attack. A fully configured device will provide network access, guarantee the security of the user’s credentials and be privacy-preserving. |
