3DES A version of
DES
, also called “Triple DES” (TDES), in which three encryption
phases are applied. For more information, see NIST Special Publication 800-
67 at
http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-67/SP800-67.pdf .
802.1 The standard for managing LANs and MANs. It covers network architecture,
bridging, management, link security, and protocol layers above the MAC and
LLC layers. For more information, see IEEE 802.1 at

802.11 The standard for wireless LANs. For more information, see IEEE 802.11 at
http://standards.ieee.org/getieee802/802.11.html .
802.11i Enhanced security standard for
802.11
, which supersedes
WEP
security. For

802.1X A port-based authentication standard that is part of the 802.1 group of proto-
cols. 802.1X forces endpoints to authenticate, establishing a point-to-point
connection if authentication succeeds or blocking the connection if authenti-
cation fails. By basing authentication on secure
EAP methods, 802.1X authen-
tication can prevent eavesdroppers from reading intercepted messages. The
802.1X standard requires three components: the
supplicant
, which runs on the
endpoint device; the authenticator , which is typically a switch or AP ; and the
authentication server , which is usually a RADIUS server . For more information,
see IEEE 802.1X at http://www.ieee802.org/1/pages/802.1x.html .
802.1X
deployment
method
The deployment method that corresponds to the 802.1X quarantine method . In this
method, the NAC 800 is connected to a switch via both its
Ethernet ports
. Port
1 receives authentication requests, and port 2 receives mirrored DHCP traffic.
