Wireless access point protection from un-authorized user in an office environment

Abstract

Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) is authentication method to protect wireless local area network from un-authorized user which there was interaction between radius servers, access point and client device. When EAP was used as authentication method, the authentication can be strengthened by using TLS (Transport Layer Security) certificate where client device and server will use certificate to verify the identity of each other. The certificate must meet requirement on the server and client for the successful authentication. For this time, the authentication method provides highest level for security in wireless local area network because this method can protect man-in-middle vulnerability.The proposed framework is evaluated by using scenario in testing and live environment to ensure that the authentication has been securely for mutual device authentication.
