How will enterprises know that they can trust these networks? Enterprise Strategy Group Senior Analyst John Mazur says the creation of federations of secured wireless networks will be key. For instance, carriers or cable providers would develop global preferred networks of wireless hotspots and then allow users to access them. Instead of negotiating credentials and security levels for each hotspot, users would configure their security preferences upfront and then the device would automatically handle each hotspot's login requests.Education institutions across the world have developed a similar federated structure, called eduroam, using RADIUS and 802.1X technologies. Researchers, teachers, students and staff who are eduroam-enabled by a member institution are able to securely access the Internet from their notebook or mobile device when visiting another member institution. The home network performs user authorization while the network the user is visiting deals only with access.
