 WPA2 vs WPA3- The Better Wifi Authentication For You

Wireless network security begins with authentication. The security of a company’s data is ensured when only approved users are able to access the network. Conversely, a network is more vulnerable to attack if improper authentication is used. Different authentication techniques have distinct advantages and disadvantages and a varying range of Wi-Fi security. The notion of […]

 WPA2-PSK vs WPA2-Enterprise: Best WPA2 Authentication For You

Wireless encryption standards have developed to account for shifting network needs, emerging security threats, and discovered flaws in older encryption methods. WPA2-PSK/Personal and WPA2-ENT are the two variants of the WPA2 protocol that are in use today and provide different levels of security. WPA2 Enterprise uses IEEE 802.1X to deliver enterprise-grade authentication, and it was […]

The Stages of 802.1X Authentication

The 802.1X authentication protocol is a state-of-the-art cryptographic network technology that provides protection for both wired and wireless networks. The fundamental concept behind the implementation of security protocols is rooted in the necessity to safeguard confidential data and authenticate individuals endeavoring to illicitly infiltrate the system. Upon network enrollment, devices must undergo authentication, which is […]

A Detailed Overview Of  802.1X Network Configuration

IEEE 802.1X To deploy WPA in a wireless network, an access point uses 802.1X. A wireless client must be authenticated using WPA before it can establish a connection with the access point. Switches use 802.1X to perform port-based authentication for wire-based networks. WPA-PSK (pre-shared key, commonly known as WPA-Personal) and WPA/WPA2 Enterprise are the most […]

Breaking Down the 802.1X Protocol

The 802.1X protocol is a pivotal authentication protocol in network security that is widely used. Its foremost aim is to enhance the security of the network by transitioning from WPA2-PSK networks, which are deemed less secure due to their dependence on a solitary shared password, to the more dependable WPA2-Enterprise/802.1X standard. The implementation of this […]
