Authentication Server
---------------------
Any RADIUS server supporting EAP should be usable as an IEEE 802.1X
Authentication Server with hostapd Authenticator. FreeRADIUS
(http://www.freeradius.org/) has been successfully tested with hostapd
Authenticator and both Xsupplicant (http://www.open1x.org) and Windows
XP Supplicants. EAP/TLS was used with Xsupplicant and
EAP/MD5-Challenge with Windows XP.
http://www.missl.cs.umd.edu/wireless/eaptls/ has useful information
about using EAP/TLS with FreeRADIUS and Xsupplicant (just replace
Cisco access point with Host AP driver, hostapd daemon, and a Prism2
card ;-). http://www.freeradius.org/doc/EAP-MD5.html has information
about using EAP/MD5 with FreeRADIUS, including instructions for WinXP
configuration. http://www.denobula.com/EAPTLS.pdf has a HOWTO on
EAP/TLS use with WinXP Supplicant.

Wi-Fi Alliance (http://www.wi-fi.org/) used a draft version of the
IEEE 802.11i work (draft 3.0) to define a subset of the security
enhancements that can be implemented with existing wlan hardware. This
is called Wi-Fi Protected Access<TM> (WPA). This has now become a
mandatory component of interoperability testing and certification done
by Wi-Fi Alliance. Wi-Fi provides information about WPA at its web
site (http://www.wi-fi.org/OpenSection/protected_access.asp).
