Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) is an AAA (authentication, authorization and accounting) protocol. It can be used for network access or mobility applications, working in both local and roaming situations. The RADIUS client implements a client/server mechanism that enables remote access servers to communicate with a central server to authenticate users and authorize their access to the requested system or service. RADIUS is often used in embedded devices because it eliminates the need to store detailed user information locally on a device.

Unfortunately, most RADIUS packages are developed for PCs, not devices. This means that those RADIUS implementations can be difficult to fit into memory-constrained device environments, and typical RADIUS clients can degrade embedded device performance to an unacceptable degree.

NanoRADIUS™ is the answer.

NanoRADIUS is Mocana’s easy-to-use, feature-rich RADIUS client specifically designed to speed product development while providing best-in-class device security services for resource-constrained environments.

NanoRADIUS is an open, standards-based, full-featured, RFC-compliant and portable solution that enables you to securely authenticate users against any RADIUS server.

NanoRADIUS™ Features

NanoRADIUS provides:

Unlimited pending requests (instead of the standard limit of 256)
Allows configuration of multiple RADIUS servers
Allows dynamic addition/deletion of RADIUS servers
Support for multiple virtual instances of RADIUS client and timers configuration per instance
Allows RADIUS servers configuration per instance
Complete control over RADIUS server failover, including standby and round robin configuration
Highly configurable with APIs to collect statistics, AAA accounting and easy to introduce new server failover schemes

Ultra-Small Size
Optimized for size and memory usage, NanoRADIUS has been specifically designed and coded to operate on resource-constrained devices, requiring as little as 27 KB code for Linux PPC machines.

NanoRADIUS™ Benefits

Works Where Others Won’t
NanoRADIUS fits into the memory nooks and crannies where other RADIUS implementations can’t, and can easily handle hundreds of simultaneous connections.

Platform Independent
NanoRADIUS, like all the toolkits in Mocana’s Device Security Framework, is CPU and platform independent. NanoRADIUS is immediately available for more than 1000 processor/OS combinations, and ports to new platforms typically take only a few hours. Out-of-the-box support is provided for Linux, Monta Vista, VxWorks, OSE, Nucleus, Solaris, ThreadX, Windows, MacOS X, (ARC) MQX, pSOS, and Cygwin. NanoRADIUS is endian-neutral, and can even be used without any RTOS at all.

Dramatically Shortens Your Development Cycle
NanoRADIUS is a ready-made, optimized, exhaustively tested RADIUS client that frees your in-house development resources to focus on what’s really important: the functionality of your device and its application. The NanoRADIUS API is well documented and provides all the initialization, setup, crypto, and communication functions you need, enabling you to speed through your development and integration efforts and simplify customization. And as always, Mocana’s developer support team is always available to answer your questions.
