Abstract
Eduroam is a federated wireless access service that allows researchers, staff, and students to access a secure Wi-Fi network connection using their credentials at their home institution or while visiting other campuses. When traveling to another institution that uses eduroam, users need only turn on their mobile device without guest account credentials to immediately gain authenticated Internet access.
This document briefly explains who might use eduroam and the benefits of using this service. Information security practitioners can use this resource to help understand how to use this federated service at their institution.
