NIST SP 800-120 Recommendation for EAP Methods Used in Wireless Network Access A: NiST SP 800-120

Rate this book
NIST SP 800-120 September 2009

This Recommendation formalizes a set of core security requirements for EAP methods when employed by the U.S. Federal Government for wireless access authentication and key establishment. The requirements should be considered as generic, in the sense that they are independent of specific wireless technologies. When there are differences between this Recommendation and the referenced IEEE and IETF standards, this Recommendation shall have precedence for U.S. Government applications. This Recommendation addresses the validation of a few selected EAP methods, in order to explain the requirements.


Why buy a book you can download for free?

First you gotta find it and make sure it’s the latest version (not always easy). Then you gotta print it using a network printer you share with 100 other people – and its outta paper – and the toner is low (take out the toner cartridge, shake it, then put it back). If it’s just 10 pages, no problem, but if it’s a 250-page book, you will need to punch 3 holes in all those pages and put it in a 3-ring binder. Takes at least an hour. An engineer that’s paid $75 an hour has to do this himself (who has assistant’s anymore?).

If you are paid more than $10 an hour and use an ink jet printer, buying this book will save you money.

It’s much more cost-effective to just order the latest version from Amazon.com
