RadChain Connect: Integration Between Blockchain and FreeRADIUS for Secure Authentication in Wi-Fi Networks/Web Environment
User authentication in web environments and Wi-Fi networks is crucial due to the increase in fraud and invasions. Traditional methods, such as WPA2-PSK, have vulnerabilities, making the use of more secure solutions necessary. RadChain Connect is a proposal that combines blockchain with FreeRADIUS and self-sovereign identity, aiming to provide an efficient authentication system. Initially, it focuses on web authentication in universities, enhancing security at login. In the future, there are plans to expand the solution to Wi-Fi networks, leveraging the versatility of FreeRADIUS and the security of the EAP protocol.
