tinyPEAP
tinyPEAP is a very small RADIUS server that supports PEAP authentication (the most secure wireless authentication protocol). It was designed from scratch to be able to run on very minimal hardware, such as the Linksys WRT54G. What are the benefits of such a server? Traditional 802.1X/RADIUS solutions require a dedicated RADIUS server and a rather complex setup. tinyPEAP allows you to have all of the benefits of 802.1X and PEAP security without the hassle of having a full blow RADIUS server on hand. In fact, the whole setup fits in a relatively cheap wireless access point that is very easy to setup.
