EAP-based Authentication with EAP Method Selection Mechanism: Simulation Design

Wireless networks have grown rapidly and more
becoming part of our life, due to its advantages over the wired
network, such as convenience, mobility, and flexibility. However
the security concerns in wireless networks might have prevented
its further widespread adoption. One of the solutions to overcome
the wireless network security concerns is the IEEE 802.1X
specification, a mechanism for port-based network access
control, which is based on Extensible Authentication Protocol
(EAP), an authentication framework that can support multiple
authentication methods. This paper proposed a design for an
extension to the EAP framework for EAP authentication method
selection purpose. The design then can be used to develop a
simulation model of the EAP method selection mechanism
