EAP-AKA Support in OS x and iOS

As you know, EAP is an authentication framework. It simply provides some common functions and negotiation of the desired authentication mechanism. Such mechanisms are called EAP methods and there are currently about 40 of them. Some famous EAP types currently included in the Wi-Fi alliance certification program are:
- EAP-SIM: Based on SIM card: uses cryptographic algorithm for 2G network authentication.
- EAP-AKA (since 19/05/2009) : Based on (U)SIM card: uses cryptographic algorithm for 3G network authentication.
In our company we are trying to use EAP-AKA to provide seamless authentication of WiFi network based on the user's (U)SIM.
I wonder if EAP-AKA is considered to be part of accepted EAP types supported in the iPhone or Mac OS x Airport?  
Thanks.

Hi Dave, Thanks for your answer. you are right (according to the Guide) iOS supports the all the protocols mentioned, however i was looking after the EAP-AKA (for the 3G authentication) based on (U)SIM. it is simply not there on the supported protocol lists in iOS.
According to my recent search on this, it seems in the iPhone/iPad that are running iOS the (U)SIMs inside performs 2G Authentication as well (if the authenticator is asking for EAP-SIM) so EAP-SIM on the iOS (iPad/iPhone) should be ok.
now the question comes to the OS x, i did not find any hint on EAP-SIM or EAP-AKA authentication support i hope it will be added sometime. Meanwhile i am looking for some OSx software that does the same.
BRs..

  • Aptx support in iPhone 6 and iOS 8

    So I have an iPhone 6 Plus on the way and I was wondering if it supports aptx. I know it's something that hasn't been supported on past iOS versions and devices but it's on OS X so I was hoping the new iPhone's support it.

    Just in case anyone is still looking at this I thought I'd report something I found very helpful (whether others will is up to them).
    I was looking for bluetooth headphones and in the process auditioned five different ones that had received high reviews.  In the end I only kept a relatively cheap pair (and actually ended up with a wired set of Bose earpieces that I'm using with a tiny wearable USB receiver but that's a whole other story).
    During my testing process one of the things I did was install the free-with-the-phones Jabra music playing app that imports your iTunes library and effectively acts as a substitute for it.  What it *does* do is offer the ability to play music using Dolby Digital processing, along with a fairly complete equalizer.  It works on both the bluetooth signal as well as any attached via the headphone jack (it might even affect the built-in speaker for all I know but it's hard to tell with my 4s phone).
    The difference between using it and the puny EQ built-in to the iPhone is amazing -- cheap headphones suddenly sound like they cost thousands, and "good" headphones sound unbelievable.  I was almost going to keep the $150 headphones (which are nice but too heavy for my purpose) just for the app alone, but I see that's available for $5 as a standalone in the store https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/jabra-sound/id589556828?mt=8 )
    If you care at all about sound in your headphones you ought to check it out -- it has completely changed my opinion about using even cheap earbuds with the iPhone.  This now makes me not care one whit about the lack of AptX.

  • Router platform and IOS version to support MPLS

    I have few Cisco 2621 routers and one 3640 router, could I use these router to create a MPLS VPN lab? if so , what is the minimum IOS version required?
    Thanks in advance.

    The minimum hardware and software image tu support MPLS can be found at www.cisco.com/go/fn select search by feature and in the search box put MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) there you can find the platform and IOS to support basic MPLS, but you need to consider the fact that supporting MPLS special features like AToM can only be supported on some 7200, 7500, 7600, 10000 and 12000, http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps1839/products_feature_guide_chapter09186a0080153e64.html#1030652

    Apple mail app freezes after first use after reset.  iPad 3 and IOS 8.1.  How do resolve?

    Hi, sixfinger.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Try forcing all applications to close and restart the device.  Once this is done test to see if the Mail app functions correctly.

  • How do I share windows and iOS on my MAC book pro

    how do i share windows and iOS on the same hard disk on my MAC? will each of the operating system see the whole disk?

    Either you don't understand or misuse just what iOS is, it is only found on iPad, iPhone, iPod and does not run on Macs in any way, and as far as we here the only operating system of interest is Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 or above.
    There are forums for iPad and if you have a notebook then you want MacBook Pro forum.
    As for Windows, there is a forum for "Boot Camp" to set aside and use part of your hard drive for Windows to run natively.

  • Numbers (Mac OS and iOS)

    I am a long time Windows/Office user who has moved to the Apple environment (Mac/iPhoneiPad) over the past couple of years.  I've also moved all of my family and have seen a lot of work colleagues make a similar moves, largely on the back of adoption of the iPhone I believe.  I'm loving it and am very impressed with the iWorks set of products. I do think they have  a little way to go in terms of depth of functionality compared to MS Office but I'm am very happy with the apps and prefer to sue them when I can. 
    My only real disappointment is the lack of complete integration with MS Office documents (mostly in the iOS versions but also on MAC OS).   I can live without all of the commends but I would like to be able to do a couple of key things to ensure easy integration between them largely because I still need to regularly share documents between Office and iWorks - mostly spreadsheets and presentations:
    1) It would really help to be able to set a default Office doc format in Numbers/Keynote that then automatically creates or saves docuemnts in that format.  I share a dozen or so docs a day with Office users.
    2) It would help if there was complete font compatibility between the two environments so that when I import an Office doc, it doesn't lose the original fonts and can be saved/exported back to that format without incompatibilities.
    3) It would be great if Numbers supported ALL of the Excel formulas correctly (again- especially the iOS version) so that formulas weren't stripped out of the spreadsheet when imported into Numbers.  After that, the formulas no longer work in Excel either making the document useless.
    4) It would help enormously if Numbers supported the sorting, filtering and column/row hiding functions of Excel so that consistent views can be maintained.
    Overall, I love the Apple apps and would be very happy to move completely to them if these things could be addressed.  A wish list rather than a complaint and I know this is not the Apple "suggestions" forum.  Interested in other/supporting views though.

    Garij,
    The place to begin when you wish to send feedback to Apple is here:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    Most of your points relate to collaboration with Windows Office users. I think it's always going to be better to use MS products or clones for serious collaboration with Windows users. You don't want the tool to get in the way of the work. Asking Apple to make their products carbon copies of MS products probably isn't going to have much effect if Apple wants to differentiate their products.

  • ICloud Safari History not syncing across my devices with Yosemite and iOS 8

    I have a MacBook Pro with the latest update of Yosemite installed, an iPad 2 with iOS 8.1.1, an iPhone 6 with iOS 8.1.1 and other things seem to be syncing like my bookmarks, reading list, and all other iCloud data as well as iMessages and text messages. But the one thing that does not seem to be syncing is my browsing history in Safari. This is supposed to be a new feature of Yosemite and iOS 8 and it is working for a friend of mine but not me.
    How can I fix this? I've tried going into iCloud settings on all three devices and turning off Safari sync and then turning it back on but no luck.

    I spoke with Apple support again this weekend. The first support specialist told me that Safari browsing history was not a feature at this time. When I sent a screenshot of the notes of what updated in Safari 8.0.2 on December 11, 2014 from the AppStore, I got transferred to a senior support specialist. They had me try things like log out of icloud and then reset my network settings on my devices. But that unfortunately did not work. My next step which I did not have time to do, is to see if it is my iCloud account by creating a new iCloud account, logging out of iCloud and then resetting my network settings and then logging into iCloud with the new iCloud account and see if Safari history syncs.
    I'm not sure what they will do for me if it is my iCloud account because I have so much on that account and have email addresses that I don't want to lose. And if it isn't the iCloud account they said it is probably my devices but I am not sure what they will have me do to try to fix it if it is. Set them up as new? I don't really want to do that, it takes forever to get everything back on the device.

  • Is there anyone with a 1st generation IPad and IOS 5.1 that's NOT having tons of problems?

    The whole world is always in such a big hurry to buy the next generation of anything - seems this has caused Apple to just not bother with their early customers. So many updates to so many apps to work with all the new stuff - not much works at all for me anymore. Lots of freeze ups and lots of crashes - even ITunes and the App Store constantly crashes. If there's any real help or support out there I sure haven't seen it. First generation IPads aren't really all that old - very disappointed - won't ever buy another one - far too expensive to be forgotten so quickly. If anyone has any HELPFUL information, please reply. If there are fixes available from Apple that I just don't know about, I'll be very glad to eat my words here.

    Nah.... if application updates over the last couple of years weren't going to be compatible with my IPad and IOS 5.1, then the update notices should have never been sent. Keep in mind that as updates became available, the "reminder" never went away until you installed it. All of these "updates" were designed for the newer operating software but also supposed to be compatible with what I have. To my knowledge, ITunes and the App Store were both pre-installed on the IPads and have never been something you could download yourself (only upgrades as they came down the pike).
