Radiator team take part in IETF 116 in Yokohama

We at Radiator take pride in applying the latest industry standards into Radiator. Part of these efforts include actively engaging with the relevant IETF working groups. Following up on the widely supported reboot of the RADIUS Extensions working group at IETF 115 in London, Radiator team is flying out to Japan to participate in IETF 116 in person. We’re especially looking forward to these two sessions:

RADIUS EXTensions (radextra)

EAP Method Update (emu)

Meet the team

Staying at the forefront of industry developments is a top priority for Radiator development. As always, we are looking forward to working on RADIUS drafts and standards and implementing them in Radiator. If you’re in Yokohama, come find us at the and say hi! The point of contact is Radiator developer Heikki Vatiainen, who is available to meet at Pacifico venue. Everyone else, please drop us an email!

Radiator SIM Pack 2.8 released! Major scalability improvement and other enhanced features

We are pleased to announce the release of Radiator SIM Pack version 2.8. This new release contains major scalability improvement and many enhanced features.

Scalability improvement and other enhanced features

To make it easier to manage large installations and improve performance, Radiator 3GPP AAA Server now supports configuration with multiple parallel workers that use the same Diameter identity. This update was also reflected in earlier Radiator Service Provider Pack release. 

In addition, Radiator SIM Pack has supported IMSI Privacy since release 2.5 and 2.8 release now adds support for certificate revocation and expiration notifications. For more info about IMSI Privacy features in Radiator SIM Pack, please see our new whitepaper.

Also, customers using SIGTRAN will be pleased to learn that SIGTRAN stack upper layers have been rearranged to better support additional MAP dialogues. For more detailed changes, please see the Radiator SIM Pack revision history.

New whitepaper: Introduction to IMSI Privacy Protection for Wi-Fi with Radiator SIM Pack

 

Great news! We are proud to present our new whitepaper “Introduction to IMSI Privacy Protection for Wi-Fi with Radiator SIM Pack”. You can download the whitepaper from our website.

What is IMSI Privacy about and why is it important?

One of the key use cases for SIM authentication, Wi-Fi offloading enables SIM-based devices to automatically switch data and voice traffic from mobile networks to Wi-Fi networks. This lets mobile carriers and operators reduce their operating costs, and provide better network coverage and customer service, in locations with high amounts of mobile traffic. However, without IMSI Privacy Protection for Wi-Fi the mobile user’s identity will be exposed on the Wi-Fi network when the device is authenticated and the latest Android and iOS mobile devices will also give the user a security warning and may refuse to connect automatically.

Since many of the SIM-based Wi-Fi authentication use cases, such as Wi-Fi offloading, Voice over Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi roaming capabilities are growing in importance, mobile OS manufacturers are putting pressure on the industry to improve Wi-Fi security, leading to a clear need for reliable IMSI Privacy Protection.

In our white paper, we give an overview of the security issues with Wi-Fi SIM-based device authentication and introduce the Radiator SIM Pack, which is a proven solution for IMSI Privacy Protection for Wi-Fi.

For more information, please download the whitepaper from our website.

*) In SIM-based mobile devices, like smart phones and tablets, the user’s unique identifier is stored on the SIM card in a standard format known as the International Mobile Subscriber Identifier, or IMSI for short.

Radiator 4.27 now available!

We are pleased to announce the release of Radiator version 4.27!

The main new feature in the release is support for EAP-TLS v. 1.3 - as specified in the RFC 9190. TLS v. 1.3 is available also for RadSec and for all TLS-based EAP methods. TLSv1.3 is disabled by default, but can be turned on by the customer when needed. TLSv1.3 will be enabled by default in future Radiator releases.

At the same time, we continue to monitor TLSv1.3 interoperability with EAP-TTLS and PEAP. At the moment TLSv1.3 session resumption is disabled because of interoperability problems. To help with this, we are participating in IETF work that aims to solve the pending issues.

In addition, significant update work for LDAP connection and TLS debugging has been made - as well as support for different Linux distributions.
 
For other new features, enhancements, interoperability, and bug fixes, please see below.
 
Selected compatibility notes, enhancements and fixes

• Significant LDAP updates to connection and TLS handling.
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 and its derivatives are now supported.
• Ubuntu 22.04 is now supported.
• Session resumption is enabled for EAP-TLS with TLSv1.3 but remains disabled for the other TLS based EAP methods.
• TLSv1.3 is supported by EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS and PEAP but remains disabled by default.
• TLSv1.3 is tested with RadSec and other Stream modules but remains disabled by default.
• Radiator can log TLS key material to a file to allow fully decrypting EAP and Stream SSL/TLS sessions.
• TLS handshake and state trace logging is now enabled for EAP and Stream modules, such as PEAP and RadSec, when Trace 4 (debugging) or PacketTrace is configured.
• Radiator SIM Pack 2.7 and Carrier Pack 1.7, or later, are strongly recommended.

 

Known caveats and other notes

• TLSv1.3 remains disabled by default for TLS based EAP methods and Stream based classes, such as RadSec. TLSv1.3 testing reports are welcome.
• Fix and enhance EAP-FAST. Requires Net::SSLeay 1.94 or later with OpenSSL 1.1.1 and later.

More detailed changes can be found in the revision history.

Radiator packages are available to download for current licensees from the downloads page and the Radiator repository.
