Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP) is a standard for certificate management. SCEP is predominantly used for certificate-based authentication. A Mobile device management (MDM) solution uses SCEP to push the payload that houses the SCEP URL and the shared secret to managed devices in the network. The significant advantages of certificate-based authentication are: Jamf is a…

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…

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…

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…

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…
