Abstract
In this paper we propose an architecture aimed for reducing the latency of network access authentication based on the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). The architecture is based on the design of a new EAP method for which a standalone authenticator is used, and does not require any change to the EAP specification or the specifications of EAP lower-layers such as IEEE 802.11 and IEEE 802.16e. We also show a proof of concept of the architecture through an experiment.
