Greetings, At the recent PacSec conference in Tokyo, I demonstrated how we can easily secure wireless networks with OpenBSD. This solution uses IPsec to protect the traffic between the wireless clients and the Access Points. Users authenticate using OpenSSH (authpf) before they are allowed access to network resources. All of this is automated making it user friendly and very secure.
Near the end of the presentation, I spoke about the future of wireless networks using OpenBSD as Access Points. Both hostapd and sasyncd are very recent additions to OpenBSD. I gave everyone a taste of the future with a live demonstration showing stateful failover of a VPN tunnel using sasyncd.
