4.5.3.3 WIRELESS – Security – 802.1x
802.1x is a security protocol for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN). It is a port-based network access
control that keeps the network port disconnected until authentication is completed. 802.1x is based on
Extensible Authentication protocol (EAP). EAP messages from the authenticator to the authentication server
typically use the RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) protocol. Figure below illustrates the
