IPSec Communication

While TLS only encrypts data used on a specific application, such as a Web browser or an e-mail application,

IPSec encrypts the whole (or payloads of) IP packets. This enables IPSec to offer a more versatile security system

than TLS. Configuring IPSec Settings(P. 389)

IEEE 802.1X Authentication

IEEE 802.1X is a standard and mechanism for blocking unauthorized access to the network by collectively

managing user authentication information. If a device tries to connect to the 802.1X network, the device must

go through user authentication in order to prove that the connection is made by an authorized user.

Authentication information is sent to and checked by a RADIUS server, which permits or rejects communication

to the network depending on the authentication result. If authentication fails, a LAN switch (or an access point)

blocks access from the outside of the network. The machine can connect to an 802.1X network as a client

device. Configuring IEEE 802.1X Authentication Settings(P. 396)
