About the White Paper:
The theme of the paper is business critical systems security, first illustrating the
importance of and potential difficulties in protecting information that traverses
networks; then examining network security as a holistic concept before focusing
specifically on the IEEE 802.1X enterprise edge security standard. In
addition, the paper demonstrates how RADIUS used in conjunction with 802.1X
provides a long-term, secure, and low-cost system for network authentication,
authorization, and accounting. Also discussed is how 3Com's integrated portfolio
of security product solutions fully supports 802.1X and layered network
protection, making it easy to improve network security. |
