Wi-Fi Alliance is planning to announce certification program for new EAP types on May 20, 2009 Wi-Fi Alliance is planning to announce the certification program for the new EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) types on May 20, 2009. The new EAP types testing - EAP FAST (Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling) and AKA (Authentication and Key Agreement), will affect the WPA2/WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and 802.11n draft 2.0 test beds and test plans. WFA Test Plans The WPA2/WPA (802.11a/b/g) and 802.11n Draft 2.0 test plans are being finalized and will be available prior to the May 20 launch. Changes include additional testing for the new EAP types and identification of devices used for individual test cases. Beginning on May 20, 2009 all members will be given a 90-day grace period to optionally test the new EAP types on new or additional product applications. During this 90-day period, members can request an Authorized Test Lab (ATL) to test for the new EAP types. If all tests pass, the member will be issued a certificate which includes the new EAP types. If the product fails to pass the additional EAP tests, the product will still be certified for all other requested certifications that pass successfully. Products submitted after the 90-day grace period, on or after August 19, 2009, will be required to support and pass the new EAP testing in order to be certified for WPA2 802.11a/b/g or 802.11n draft 2.0. read more top |
