Most institutions within the SURFnet constituency are deploying or have concrete plans to deploy Wireless LAN (WLAN) services for their students and employees. At the same time there is an increasing awareness of the risks involved in deploying these kinds of services. SURFnet, in turn, has the ambition to provide an infrastructure for cross-institutional (both nationally and internationally) roaming for wireless networks. This has led to a project at the University of Twente in which a secure solution for access to WLANs has been developed. It builds on the 802.1X standard for port based authentication for wired and wireless networks and allows for guest access to the WLAN.
