is a more complicated authentication, which involves using certificate that is issued by the Radius server, for authentication. TLS authentication is a more secure authentication, since not only the Radius server authenticates the wireless client, but also the client can validate the Radius server by the certificate that it issues. The authentication request from wireless clients and reply by the Radius Server and Access Point process can be briefed as follows: 1. The client sends an EAP start message to the Access Point 2. The Access Point replies with an EAP Request ID message 3. The client sends its Network Access Identifier (NAI) - its user name - to the Access Point in an EAP Respond message. 4. The Access Point forwards the NAI to the RADIUS server with a RADIUS Access Request message. 5. The RADIUS server responds to the client with its digital certificate. 6. The client validates the digital certificate, and replies its own digital certificate to the RADIUS server. 7. The RADIUS server validates client's digital certificate. 8. The client and RADIUS server derive encryption keys. 9. The RADIUS server sends the access point a RADIUS ACCEPT message, including the client's WEP key. 10. The Access Point sends the client an EAP Success message along with the broadcast key and key length, all encrypted with the client's WEP key. Supplicant: Wireless Network PC Card Here is the setup for the Wireless Network PC Card under Windows XP, which is the only Operating System that our driver supports for 802.1x. Microsoft is planning on supporting 802.1x security in all common Windows Operating System including Win98SE/ME/2000 by releasing Service Pack in 2003. Please note that the setup illustration is based on our 22Mbps wireless PC Card. 1. Go to Start > Control Panel 2. double-click on "Network Connections " 3. right-click on the Wireless Network Connection that you use with our 22Mbps wireless PC Card. -62-
