Chief Scientist

Alan DeKok is Quiconnect’s chief scientist and founder and project leader of FreeRADIUS, the world’s number one RADIUS server. 

As one of the world’s leading experts in RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Server), Alan DeKok will help to oversee Quiconnect’s software development process and technical team, future design of its Interconnect Platform, as well as create and bring to market new solutions to enable carrier and network operator interoperability, based on IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) and WiMAX standards.  He will continue to have active managerial involvement in the FreeRADIUS project, an industry leading open source RADIUS server.    

Created in 1999, FreeRADIUS is the world’s number one RADIUS server with over 100,000 deployments of the software, including tier 1 ISPs and telecommunications companies.  With significantly more features compared to commercial RADIUS solutions, it provides organisations considerable flexibility supporting all commercial databases and a variety of platforms.  According to a survey carried out in November 2006 by FreeRADIUS, more than 100 million Internet users are authenticated via FreeRADIUS.

Mr. DeKok is a regular participant and contributor at IETF meetings, an accomplished speaker, and has published numerous papers on RADIUS related issues. 

He has a Master’s degree in Physics from Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada.
