Abstract: IEEE 802.1X is a key component of modern network security, offering a robust framework for port-based access control in Ethernet networks. We are conducting a detailed study on IEEE 802.1X ...

Many organizations have put off the deployment of IEEE 802.1X authentication for years while waiting for networking and computing vendors to make it easier. Earlier this year, the IT team at Brigham ...

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.1x standard is and why you should care means understanding three separate concepts: PPP, EAP and 802.1x itself. Point-to-Point Protocol ...

Abstract: Along with the diffusion of smart devices that use WLAN, the number of WLAN Hotspot is rapidly increasing. A representative security threat in WLAN environments is hacking using rogue APs ...

Many switches today support 802.1X authentication, a basic building block in NAC. The key question is what kind of access authenticated users can expect. In the six-test scenarios we developed for ...

A 2001 IEEE standard for network access control. Used predominantly in Wi-Fi wireless networks, 802.1X keeps the network port disconnected until authentication is completed. Depending on the results, ...

Let me preface all of this by stating that I have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING. That, however, doesn't mean that management cares. We have a whole bunch of 3550s all over the office, and I've ...

Meetinghouse Data Communications is making available a free, downloadable network authentication software package for Linux operating systems. The client-side or supplicant software package ...

IEEE's wireless security amendment adds stronger encryption, authentication, and key management strategies that go a long way toward guaranteeing data and system security. With the falling cost and ...
