802.1x: Authentication which is a first line of defense against intrusion. In the
authentication process, the Authentication Server verifies the identity of the client
attempting to connect to the network. Unfamiliar clients would be denied access.
WPA-Enterprise is ideal for businesses that have existing security infrastructures in
place. Management and security implementation can now be centralized on a server
participating on the network. Utilizing 802.1x with a RADIUS (Remote Authentication
Dial-in User Service) server, a network adminstrator can define a list of authorized users
who can access the wireless LAN. When attempting to access a wireless LAN with
WPA-Enterprise configured, the new client will be challenged with a username and
password. If the new client is authorized by the administration, and enters the correct
username and password, then access is granted. In a scenario where an employee
leaves the company, the network administrator can remove the employee from the
authorized list and not have to worry about the network being compromised by a former
employee.
