AAA and Network Security for Mobile Access: Radius, Diameter, EAP, PKI and IP Mobility
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Sep 2005, Pages: 318
The problem of providing secure network access for remote mobile users is becoming more and more complicated. Therefore the IETF have developed several standards (RADIUS, DIAMETER) to systematize the current security mechanisms. RADIUS enables remote access servers to communicate with a central server to authenticate dial-in users and authorize their access to the requested system or service. RADIUS allows a company to maintain user profiles in a central database that all remote servers can share. These approaches are very detailed and complex, i.e. understood by a handful of researchers and engineers. The authors strive to provide a guide/reference to this important standard as security is becoming an integrated part of network architecture design, describing the AAA framework along with insights into security protocols, the usage of PKIs, public key certificates (for IPSec) and security key management.
