- Authenticator: It is a network device that acts as a proxy between supplicant and

authentication server. It passes around information, verifies information with the server,

and relays response to the supplicant.

The authenticator acts like a security guard to a protected network. The supplicant is not

allowed access through the authenticator to the protected side of the network until the

supplicant’s identity has been validated and authorized. With 802.1X authentication, a

supplicant and an authenticator exchange EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol, an

authentication framework widely used by IEEE). Then the authenticator forwards this

information to the authentication server for verification; if the authentication server confirms

the request, the supplicant (client device) will be allowed to access resources located on the

protected side of the network.

RADIUS: It is a networking protocol that provides authentication, authorization and

accounting management for devices to connect and use a network service.
