| Radius is an authentication technology that uses cryptography and the concept of shared secret passwords to provide entitlement to devices. There is a backend database that holds entitlement for the devices. This database can contain unique items or they can be grouped together by function, location whatever you like. Some of the the advantages of Radius are 1] The passwords do not traverse the network in clear text, 2] You have a centralized location to manage entitlement (e.g. you can quickly revoke access from one or many device), 3] UDP packets are used so overhead is low and response is very fast, 4] Support varius forms of redundancy to avoid Single Point of Failure.
