You might want to do some reading about WPA and 802.1x protocols. The idea is that a host trying to connect to wired or wireless network needs to authenticate in order to enable the port it is connecting to (we are talking here about layer 2 authentication). The approach gives you a wide choice of authentication methods like EAP-TLS, PEAP, smart cards, certificates, etc...
The open source implementation of 802.1x can be found here: http://www.open1x.org/ Just my 2 cents... Guy On Wed, 2005-01-05 at 11:17 +0200, Shachar Shemesh wrote: > Geoffrey S.
