Configuring EAP-TLS Authentication

EAP-TLS is an IETF open standard, and is universally supported by WLAN vendors. It provides strong security by requiring both the badge and an authentication server to prove their identities through public key cryptography or digital certificates. The EAP-TLS exchange is encrypted in a TLS tunnel, making it resistant to dictionary attacks.

B3000n and B3000 badges support EAP-Transport Layer Security or EAP-TLS, which provides excellent security, relying on client-side and server-side certificates.
