In the security and wireless networking world, 802.1x is a big deal. This is the Layer 2 protocol that enables device authentication. The protocol helps keep war drivers off wireless networks and is ...

The protocol creates the false sense of security that all devices are being screened, even if minimally, for security when in fact they are not. Cyber Threats Internet of Things Critical ...

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 ...

The What: LEA Professional is strengthening network security with its new 802.1X security protocol for the company's range of Connect Series amplifiers. The What Else: 802.1X is an IEEE Standard for ...

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 ...

As an authentication standard for wired networks, 802.1X has a happy side effect when used with WLANs: It gives you per-user, per-session WEP keys. As an authentication standard for wired networks, ...

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 ...

Anyone developing wireless LAN (WLAN) systems knows the security problem created by the wired equivalency protocol (WEP). The bigger issue designers must wrestle with is how to solve the problems ...
