CycloneEAP is a 802.1X / EAP library dedicated to embedded applications. The 802.1x standard specifies a protocol that prevents unauthorized access to a corporate LAN, by providing port-level authentication. The 802.1X protocol relies on EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) to manage various authentication methods, such as username/password and digital certificates.
An 802.1X architecture involves three parties: a supplicant, an authenticator, and an authentication server.
- The supplicant is a client device, which wants to be authenticated.
- The authenticator acts as a proxy between the client and the authentication server and controls the authorized/unauthorized state of the port. It is typically implemented on Ethernet switches.
- The authentication server (generally a RADIUS server) verifies the user's credentials and instructs the authenticator to authorize network access for the user.
Main features:
- 802.1X supplicant implementation
- Supports password-based authentication using EAP-MD5
- Supports X.509 certificate-based mutual authentication using EAP-TLS
- Supports TLS 1.3 with EAP-TLS (RFC 9190)
- 802.1X authenticator implementation in pass-through mode
- Supports RADIUS over UDP (RFC 2865)
- IEEE8021-PAE-MIB to remotely manage and monitor the authenticator
- Flexible memory footprint. Built-time configuration to embed only the necessary features
- Portable architecture (no processor dependencies)
- The library is distributed as a full ANSI C and highly maintainable source code
CycloneEAP is available either as open source (GPLv2 license) or under a royalty-free commercial license (non-GPL license). We also propose an evaluation license (90-day license in source form) with technical support for an easier onboarding and effective evaluation of our software.
