  • N. Marques, JP Barraca, A. Zúquete, ANRW.PT 2020 Prize: Best Technical Paper and IETF Relevance Mention, The Annual ISOC.PT ANR Workshop and Prize is an initiative of the Portuguese Chapter of the Internet Society (ISOC.PT) that aims to promote applied research in computer networks and Internet in Portugal, by distinguishing applied research work carried out in Portugal by advanced students or other members of the R&D community, from Portuguese Universities, Research Centers or Industrial R&D Labs. This work describes an interesting proposal for a solution that can integrate the Captive Portal paradigm, which facilitates enrolment of new network subscribers, with the standard practices of security for 802.11 networks. The contribution relies on a new EAP-compliant protocol (Extended Authentication Protocol for Secure Hotspots, EAP-SH) that bridges both approaches, providing a solution for a flexible and effective authentication framework., 01-04-2020
