EAP-TLS Wireless Authentication - General questions

$

0

Hi,

I want to use EAP-TLS as a method of authentication for users/computers to join the Wireless. Devices that will connect to the Wireless are part of the domain.

What certificate is preferred to use for this purpose? Computer o User certificates? I guess that it probably depends on what you want to identify or authenticate, a user or a device, but what option is “generally” recommended?

Is there any difference from the point of view of security? Is a computer certificate more secure than a user certificate o vice versa? I have been told that user certificates are easier to compromise (or steal from a windows machine) than computer certificates even if a user doesn’t have Admin privileges in their machine?

I have also been told that using user certificates could result in some issues to pass some Compliance audits.

I would like to be sure that the design complies with the most recommended and secure alternative.

I would appreciate some help.

Many thanks.
