[LinkSec] A potential security architecture for 802 networks

["Mick Seaman" <mick_seaman@ieee.org>]

An updated draft of the document/tutorial I have been working on is attached.

A (potential) security architecture for 802 networks

This note is a sketch of a potential security architecture for 802 Networks. Its principal purpose is to document the ‘obvious’. This draft is far from complete. It is written for those who are not security experts by someone else who is not, taking the view that this is a reasonable thing to attempt, and that a security project will not have succeeded unless its results can be explained and implemented by those with little detailed understanding of security.

The proposed architecture is based on 802.1X taken together with the developments proposed to make it more useful and flexible in networks comprising both 802.11 and 802.3 LANs.
