"Extensible Authentication Protocol in Network Security"
"Extensible Authentication Protocol in Network Security" offers an authoritative and comprehensive exploration of EAP, the cornerstone authentication framework underpinning secure network access in modern enterprise and service provider infrastructures. Beginning with the evolution and formal architecture of EAP, this book provides clear insights into its protocol mechanics, message formats, and the influential roles of standards organizations like IETF and IEEE. Readers are guided through EAP's place in the protocol stack and its widespread deployment across both wired and wireless environments, evaluating real-world scenarios ranging from enterprise to carrier-grade networks.
A central focus is placed on the diversity of EAP authentication methods, from certificate-based mechanisms like EAP-TLS to password and SIM-based options, and advanced tunneled variants for enhanced security and privacy. The text rigorously analyzes technical and cryptographic security properties, implementation best practices, and backend infrastructure integrations-including RADIUS, Diameter, and identity management systems. Special attention is given to the challenges of interoperability, scalability, and performance, ensuring readers can design robust systems capable of withstanding evolving security threats and operational demands.
Through in-depth coverage of contemporary threats, architectural pitfalls, regulatory compliance, and future-proofing strategies such as quantum-resilient cryptography, this book enables security architects, engineers, and IT leaders to navigate the complexities of EAP. Case studies from enterprise, education, telecom, and public sectors provide practical guidance, while forward-looking chapters address emerging environments including IoT, cloud-native deployments, and zero-trust networks. The result is an essential reference for anyone aiming to architect, deploy, or manage secure authentication in today's dynamic networked world.
