Eduroam Wi-Fi Authentication

This authentication is based on the 802.1X and WPA protocols. It offers higher quality and security, but it requires some setup in the operating system. In short: you have to connect to the eduroam network and configure corresponding technical parameters for the encryption of transmitted data. There must also be present a special program running on the host side - so called supplicant - which handles the WPA communication.

We use Geteduroam.app to configure the connection. The application is available for both desktop computers (Windows, Linux) and mobile phones (Android, Apple).

Go to https://www.geteduroam.app, select your operating system from the menu, download the installation file, and follow the instructions in the connection wizard. The instructions are in English.

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is active throughout duration of your connection. It encrypts your wireless transmission channel. It means that all your communication is encrypted in the air and its potential interception will be useless for the attacker.
