Was searching how to set up for a small network/lab and came across a company called Smallstep that provides free server and certificate services for small networks. They also offer corporate and enterprise solutions. Does anyone know if they are a legitimate and secure source for this? I had also read that setting up your WPA3 radius network using EAPS could be done somehow without using certificates but I can't find any material on this. Also would this usually require a static IP from my ISP?
Can anyone direct me to relevant resources?
I have no idea how good or bad Smallstep RADIUS is. But that's why you're going to test in your LAB environment, right? Then it wouldn't be a matter much.
And then, at least Google AI answer says below:
"Yes, Smallstep's integrated RADIUS server is designed to support only EAP-TLS for secure network authentication, which is considered the gold standard for secure wireless authentication."
"Yes, EAP-TLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Transport Layer Security) requires both the server and the client to have digital certificates for authentication, ensuring a secure and mutually verified connection."
