Wireless networks use a variety of authentication methods by using EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol). In this project EAP and most of its methods will be analyzed. Furthermore the following scenario will be intergraded: a wireless network user will be authenticated to the wireless network using EAP and WIRE1.x software. User may use either Windows or Linux OS. A RADIUS Server will be responsible for the authentication on behalf of the wireless network. The RADIUS Server will be based on freeRADIUS software running on Linux.
