Multi-factor authentication
Adding multi-factor authentication to your network is a proven solution to improving network security. Radiator supports a great deal of TOTP and HOTP based authenticators, both as applications and as physical tokens.
Radiator can be deployed on-premise and generate TOTP seeds for authenticator apps, resulting in a fully offline, standalone AAA with easy to use MFA. Physical tokens from Yubikey and RSA can also be used with offline deployments.
Employee Wi-Fi authentication
One of the basic use cases for multi-factor authentication is employee network authentication, meaning employee’s authentication to both company’s internal network and the world wide web. There are multiple methods to achieve secure network connection for your employees.
At its simplest, the employee logs in with username-password combination. The network access server sends request to Radiator which checks credentials against an SQL database. Matching credentials grant access, request with wrong credentials are rejected. This solution requires local IT admin to provision WiFi credentials. This above diagram showcases some of the many pieces Radiator can integrate with in this use case, for example Active Directory or an SQL database.
When using AD the user credentials are checked against AD credentials. This model does not require manual configuration of first connection. The solution can also be complimented with second authentication factor with TOTP. All this can be implemented with just Radiator and your database of choice.
Offline network TOTP
Some companies and other organisations have networks that are required to not have connection with outside networks. These networks require high security measures, often requiring multi-factor authentication for users.
Both private enterprises and public institutions working on different fields have discovered an increasing need for offline multi-factor authentication to protect their critical infrastructure. These use cases include for example power companies, transport infrastructure and other use cases that are used in private networks, and where secure authentication is essential at all times.
Radiator brings a solution for these requirements. With Radiator AAA, you can securely authenticate your offline networks with username, password and a time-based one-time password (TOTP), using the authenticator app or token of your choice.
