Properties of RADIUS

The RFC specifications for the RADIUS protocol dictate that RADIUS:

  • Is a UDP-based connectionless protocol that doesn’t use direct connections

  • Uses a hop-by-hop security model

  • Is stateless (more to come on that later)

  • Supports PAP and CHAP authentication via PPP

  • Uses MD5 for password-hiding algorithms

  • Provides over 50 attribute/value pairs with the ability to create vendor-specific pairs

  • Supports the authentication-authorization-accounting model

In addition, RADIUS enjoys support by virtually every commercially available NAS product, ensuring its future well into the next 10 years.
