Based On Linux Wireless Local Area Network Safe Authentication Method Research

The computer technology and the wireless communication union, causes the wireless mobile equipment widely to apply in each domain. The wireless mobile equipment may turn on Internet through the wireless link, simultaneously can fast, visit the Internet resources conveniently.The wireless local area network is the wired local area network important supplement and extends, widely is suitable in needs the transportable data processing or is unable to carry on the physical transmission medium wiring the domain. But at the same time, the wireless network safe authentication question already becomes at present most to be important also was one of most challenging questions.This article has realized the wireless local area network safe authentication system design and the debugging. The establishment in the Linux platform safe authentication system, uses the EAP-MD5 protocol of IEEE 802.lX protocol authentication method. In the article elaborated thoroughly the EAP-MD5 protocol authentication process, had discovered IEEE 802.lX protocol regarding the user authentication existence design flaw, then proposed one kind based on the Linux platform safe authentication optimization method.Requests lowly based on the Linux wireless local area network safe authentication system to the hardware, openness is good, supports many wireless access point.
