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 ...

Is there such a beast? I've got a heterogenious environment (Linux, Windows, Solaris, VMware) with laptops, workstations and servers, and it's time to implement 802.1x. I'll probably start with the ...

When WEP's flaws became apparent, the wireless industry started developing new protocols to address the published weak points. These new protocols grew up around the IEEE 802.1x framework, which is a ...

802.1X is maturing, but it will take a skilled network technician to configure it in products across any large deployment. While previous iLabs security-based testing focused strictly on how the IEEE ...

Discover the latest networking and security standards added to SDxCentral’s Open Source Marketplace, including IEEE Wi-Fi, IETF QUIC, and SRv6, driving innovation in connectivity and cybersecurity.

Wireless LANs offer two things central to the adoption of communications technologies: reach and economy. Scalable end-user reach is gained without stringing wires, and the users themselves often feel ...

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 ...

In the network access control products we tested, authentication varies from very strong to very weak, and every point in-between. When starting down your path of evaluating NAC products, decide very ...
