dc.description.abstract[Abstract]: The adoption of FIDO2 authentication by major tech companies in web applications has grown significantly in recent years. However, we argue FIDO2 has broader potential applications. In this paper, we introduce EAP-FIDO, a novel Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) method for use in IEEE 802.1X-protected networks. This allows organisations with WPA2/3-Enterprise wireless networks or MACSec-enabled wired networks to leverage FIDO2’s passwordless authentication in compliance with existing standards. Additionally, we provide a comprehensive security and performance analysis to support the feasibility of this approaches_ES
