IETF Bangkok 122 recap: What we're doing to advance RADIUS standards I've recently returned from IETF Bangkok, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) 122 meeting, where I spent a week working with implementers, operators, and standards authors who are defining the ... Network Security Protocols
Using FreeRADIUS with FIPS mode on compliant systems In order to create more secure systems, standards such as Federal Information Processing Standard 140-2 ( FIPS-140) are being more widely used. The FIPS standard provides for limits on which cryptogra... Network Security Protocols
Disaster-proof your network critical infrastructure If you live in an earthquake zone, it’s important to engineer buildings to survive an earthquake. You don’t know when an earthquake will happen, or where exactly, or how big it’s going to be, but you ... Network Security Best Practices
How to set up a wireless RADIUS server for secure Wi-Fi authentication When setting up a Wi-Fi network at home, you typically set up an SSID and password, accept the defaults for any other options, and be done with it. (In some cases, these are done for you by your servi... Network Security Protocols
RADIUS design for internet service providers (ISPs) More than almost any other business, internet service providers (ISPs) need to provide their customers with fast, reliable internet connection to their computer network. Any downtime can be catastroph... Network Security Best Practices
Network design for multi-site RADIUS systems Some organizations and network operators such as ISPs can use a central RADIUS service for all of their RADIUS needs. This configuration is possible when there are a small number of users, or system l... Network Security Best Practices
RADIUS Insecurity RADIUS is almost thirty years old, and uses cryptography based on MD5. Given that MD5 has been broken for over a decade, what are the implications for RADIUS? Why is RADIUS still using MD5? RADIUS sti... Network Security Protocols
Announcing SRADIUS RADIUS has used MD5 for security for almost thirty years. It is time to use a modern alternative: SRADIUS! We just released an Internet-Draft which defines “Secure RADIUS”, or “SRADIUS”. We also have ... Network Security Protocols
Introducing RADIUS 1.1 RADIUS has a problem. The name of the problem is MD5. The MD5 hash algorithm was defined in 1991, and was used in RADIUS in 1993. However, MD5 is no longer secure. It is a bit of a miracle that RADIUS... Network Security Best Practices Network Security Protocols
Looking Forward to IETF 122 We have been involved in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) for a few decades now. During that time, we have written many of the RADIUS standards. We are still involved in the standards proces... Network Security Protocols
