802.1X/EAP-TLS Deep-Dive, Record by Record

Have you ever wondered what happens during the 802.1X/EAP-TLS handshake?

Since I first learned about it during my CWNA study I have never fully understood this EAP-TLS handshake. But in the last few years, I have learned about TLS and how TLS is used on the internet. Since I have not seen any video regarding 802.1X/EAP-TLS online showing this I decided to make my own.
This is a 50 min YouTube video showing 802.1X/EAP-TLS record by record

In this video, I show a PKI setup using Smallstep as my Authentication Server, Certificate Authority, and Intermediate Certificate Authority. And an iPad as the client

Term being used

  • Certificate Authority/Intermediate Certificate Authority
  • EC private/public key pair
  • RSA private/public key pair
  • ECDSA signature algorithm for certificate signing
  • Mutual Authentication with the use of RSA and ECDSA signature algorithm
