Wireless Security



In our hospital we have a Win2003 domain with about 150 workstations.Six
workstations are "Cows" (computer on wheels) that use a wireless connection
to pass senstive medical information. AP's are Cisco. The wireless part of
the connection is secured using EAP-TLS with user certificates. We are using
an Enterprise CA to issue the certificates. We cannot use autoenrollment for
certificates because we do not have a Window2003
Enterprise server.

We are considering expanding the use of wireless workstations to 50 or more.
This presents an issue for our very small IT staff. Each wireless
workstation is used by about 20 people which means 20 user certificates have
to be installed/manged on each COW.

Question: is there another design that would still provide EAP-TLS level
security for our wireless network with having so many certificates to
manage? Or is there a way to install the certificates, in-mass, rather than
one at a time.
