7.5How Does the TPG60 Authenticate Itself in the network via EAP-TLS?

The IEEE 802.1x standard provides methods for authentication and authorization in networks. Within the scope of the IEEE 802.1x standard, the TPG60 supports the authentication protocol EAP-TLS.

You can verify the identity of the TPG60 using the authentication method EAP-TLS.

EAP-TLS offers a highly cryptographic authentication of the client in the network. Both the client and the server exchange cryptographic certificates to verify their identities. The network components use a RADIUS server for authentication purposes. As for the security protocol EAP-TLS, the RADIUS server is integrated into a PKI (Public Key Infrastructure).

The EAP-TLS method works similar to a SSL connection where the browser uses a certificate to authenticate itself to a server (or the server to a browser). In this process, a method is applied that both sides can handle.

EAP-TLS describes a certificate-based authentication method via a RADIUS server. For this purpose, certificates are exchanged between the TPG60 and the RADIUS server.
