2. Introduction Combine EAP-TTLS with Biometry Project developed for particular security conditions  Administrative restricted access in sensitive areas Main ideas :  EAP-TTLS offers many choices for authentication protocols during Phase 2  Advantages of biometry combined with the security of EAP-TTLS  Digital signatures added using smartcards

3. EAP-TTLS User profiles Server certificate RADIUS 802.1X EAP-TTLS Login, Password Access point RADIUS ServerHOME RADIUS Server

4. EAP-BIO EAP-TTLS session initiation Biometric authentication User SmartCard Biometric reader AVP encapsulating the signed fingerprint Signed fingerprint Client certificate Server certificate Phase 1 : Mutual Authentication Phase 2 : Biometric authentication Session Keys : f(Master_Secret, Client_Random, Server_Random) Server

6. Authentification – Phase 2 ClientAccess pointRadius Server EAP-Response/ {Biometric fingerprint, timestamp, signatures} RADIUS(Access-Request) EAP-SuccessRADIUS(Access-Accept) Verification of authentication data

7. EAP-BIO : Phase 1 Phase 1 : Mutual authentication  Need of a client certificate  Can be stored on a smartcard along with the RSA private key  The card is used to initiate the EAP-TTLS session

8. EAP-BIO : Phase 2 Phase 2 : Biometric authentication  Biometric fingerprint encapsulated in AVPs with CBEFF format  Can be used on a 1:N or a 1:1 authentication A 1:1 authentication is more performant EAP-BIO performs a 1:1 authentication since the identity of the user is known through Phase 1  Security problems to be solved about biometry Certify the fingerprint issued by the biometric reader Certify the voluntary action of the user The reader must be secure (prevent the use false fingerprints)

9. Security of EAP-BIO Use of smartcards and digital signatures  Sign the fingerprint issued by the reader Insert a timestamp to prevent replay attacks  Sign the fingerprint with the client before sending to the server  Certify the voluntary action of the user Initiate the EAP-TTLS session with a smartcard A signature from the user may be required  Session Keys : f(Master-Secret, Client- random, Server-random)
