SecurEAP: Secure Enterprise Wi-Fi on Linux
Improve Wi-Fi security and privacy
SecurEAP will improve Enterprise Wi-Fi security and privacy on Linux by adding modern protections such as Trust on First Use (TOFU) and automatic anonymous identities. The project will extend open-source components such as wpa_supplicant, iwd and popular network managers like “NetworkManager”. As a result, SecurEAP will make it much harder to carry out rogue access point attacks against Linux, which recent research has shown is still a problem in practice. Additionally, the project will study and prototype improvements of TOFU to mitigate “first use” attacks. Taken together, this finally adds modern protections to Linux that other platforms already offer, but Linux has still lacked.
