Introduction
eduroam (education roaming) is the secure, world-wide network access service for roaming users, developed by the international research and education community – where authenticated log in is a pre-requisite.
Continued… Eduroam (Education roaming)
Secure
Allows roaming end users access
It is based on IEEE 802.11 reference model
Continued…
It is and its logo is a registered trademark of TERENA
Eduroam relies on a worldwide federation of Radius server
Motivation Students come with own mobile devices expecting to
connect
Visiting scholars, researchers bound by complex policies at institutions
Overseas campuses access in another languages or require
data roaming. Regulations, complexity, cost and wasting resources .
Eduroam principle
The eduroam principle is based on the fact that the user's authentication is done by the user's home institution,whereas the authorisation decision allowing access to the network resources is done by the visited network.
Eduroam Architecture
How does eduroam work? When a user tries to log on to the wireless network of a visited
eduroam-enabled institution, the user's authentication request is sent to the user's home institution.
This is done via a hierarchical system of RADIUS servers.
The user's home institution verifies the user's credentials and sends to the visited institution the result of such a verification.
Continued…..
Which technology does eduroam use?
User's home institution is based on IEEE 802.1X standard for communication between access points.
802.1x includes the use of EAP, the Extensible
Authentication protocol, which allows for different authentication methods.
EAP-TLS
Benefits• Trusted security model• Validate end user device and Infrastructure• Phishing is harder
Drawbacks• Require public key infrastructure
What does eduroam do - for the user?
Eduroam network service is assured to support a wide set of applications(web, e-mail, vpn, ftp).
User logon is secured using EAP based authentication
Provide mobility
Advantages of Eduroam• Reduce the overhead to create new user account
• Eduroam is based on reliable and secure technology for authentication
• Provide freedom to access the internet everywhere, the service is enabled
• Compatibility across the world
Disadvantages
• Increasing no of users on network comes at a cost in terms of bandwidth
• Users are fear to connect to the network of other institution
New opportunities Eduroam beyond the campus :– On boats – city – On buses – Brisbane buses – On Islands – Sharke Island, Sydney – At Health sites – 7+ hospitals for medical researcher access
Leveraging mobile devices (iphone etc)
Futures :– Integrate with 3G/4G/5G providers
Conclusion Eduroam is scalable, secure and successful
service
More and more countries should participate in eduroam network which is beneficial for participants institutes
