802.1X-REV - Revision of 802.1X-2004 - Port Based Network Access Control
Port-based network access control allows a network administrator to restrict the use of IEEE 802 LAN service access points (ports) to secure communication between authenticated and authorized devices. This standard specifies a common architecture, functional elements, and protocols that support mutual authentication between the clients of ports attached to the same LAN.
IEEE 802® Local Area Networks (LANs) are deployed in networks that convey or provide access to critical data, that support mission critical applications, or that charge for service. Protocols that configure, manage, and regulate access to these networks and network based services and applications typically run over the networks themselves. Port-based network access control regulates access to the network, guarding against transmission and reception by unidentified or unauthorized parties, and consequent network disruption, theft of service, or data loss.
This revision will extend 802.1X to establish security associations for 802.1AE MAC Security in order to facilitate secure communication over publicly accessible LAN/MAN media for which security has not otherwise been defined, and to allow the use of IEEE Std 802.1X, already widespread and supported by multiple vendors, in additional applications.
This project incorporates the work previously carried out as P802.1af.
