The history of 802.1X is a continuous accumulation of attempts and errors, much like the history of internet protocols. Certain things worked while others didn't. The standard was modified and improved along the way to satisfy the following requirements:
Authentication. The main goal of 802.1X Wi-Fi Authentication is to specify a common foundation for securely connecting to dedicated wired networks. Securing that connection requires knowing and verifying the identity of each client.
Authorization. Because networks can be complex, not every authenticated client should have access to the same resources. An essential part of network access is an authorization or giving the appropriate client the appropriate level of access.
Accounting. Accounting logging access, which records and analyses who has accessed a network and what they have accessed while inside, is a crucial part of network security.
Port level control. The authorization permits customers to have the appropriate amount of access, however depending on how or where they are connecting, it is frequently necessary to grant various clients varying levels of access and limitation.
Encryption. Security fundamentals include support for the encryption of network communications to guarantee that only the intended receiver and the authenticated client can access that data.
Foxpass enables per-user logins instead of using a shared password, enhancing security and preventing unwanted access to your very important company data.
An employee can log into their company’s Wi-Fi® with ease while also solving the age-old problem of getting rid of generic, overused, shared passwords that allow any random bystander to hack into to your infrastructure, making businesses vulnerable to major attacks--cyber attacks in which they are often unable to recuperate.
Another added bonus of using RADIUS WiFi authentication With Foxpass is that an IT manager can seamlessly delegate with an internet connection and access to the Foxpass Dashboard.
