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.
