HAYWARD, Calif.—Certicom and Funk Software have joined to develop the EAP-TTLS 802.1x security protocol that provides security for WLAN connectivity.
Funk Software’s Odyssey is the first commercial implementation of EAP-TTLS.
“We are committed to developing and introducing secure WLAN solutions that network managers will actually be willing to deploy,” said Paul Funk, president of Funk Software and co-inventor of EAP-TTLS. “EAP-TTLS is the basis of these solutions and our technical collaboration with Certicom on the protocol has positioned us well to deliver user-friendly, end-to-end security in Odyssey, and to advance the state-of-the-art in WLAN security management.”
Funk Software also announced it has chosen Certicom’s Trustpoint product to build security and management capability into its RADIUS/AAA solutions, beginning with the Steel-Belted Radius/Service Provider Edition running on the Solaris platform.
