Description

In a collaborative effort between RESTENA and DFN, a new EAP method has been developed, that leverages FIDO security tokens like YubiKeys or even device built-in tokens like Windows Hello for eduroam login. Say goodbye to passwords and insecure certificate verification parameters. The new EAP method can be used with a simple "click on the SSID and
enter one string". The presentation will give an overview of the
protocol design, a status update on the specification process and discuss ways this can be integrated into institution networks for an easier eduroam configuration - both on the user's and the
administrator's side.

What will the TNC audience take away from your talk

The audience will get a basic understanding of the new EAP method, its strengths and application options in the current eduroam environment. Additionally, we want to encourage people to join as early-adopters and thus provide valuable insight for the further standardization process.
