Solutions
AAA agent checks
AAA agent (proxy, redirect, etc.) can see if NAS attributes match expected ones
Doesn’t prevent NAS from lying to the peer, only from lying to the AAA
Logging
Peer and AS can log information sent by the NAS, if a dispute arises, can verify later
Useful only for forensics
Key mixing
Peer and AS include attributes when calculating the AAA-Key
If NAS provides different info to Peer and AS, then Peer and NAS won’t be able to communicate
Only viable if relevant attributes are few and well defined, not easily extensible
Method-specific binding
EAP method includes exchange of attributes between the peer and EAP server
Peer and EAP server compare the exchanged values with ones sent by the NAS
Examples: EAP Archie, PEAPv2
