Microsoft and Wireless Authentication
An anonymous reader writes: "Microsoft's been working on a new, secure authentication standard for 802.11b called PEAP. [ed. note: it's a draft standard] Cisco already offers secure authentication for their own wireless gear with LEAP, and did an outstanding job of making this capability available for Linux and OS/X, as well as for Windows. My question is, since PEAP is dependent upon the Windows EAP-TLS infrastructure, are Linux and OS/X going to be left out in the cold as this new standard is pushed by MS? Sifry's has some good commentary and links. Opensource wireless hackers, are you working on this?"
