OpenRG
IEEE 802.1x is a port-based authentication protocol to secure communications
over 802.11 Wireless LANs. As more residential and small office / home
office (SOHO) gateways offer wireless connectivity in the home or SOHO
environment, 802.1x provides a distributed mechanism for authentication and
access control, which allows wireless LAN users to protect their data and
computers from hacker attacks.
Jungo has developed an embedded 802.1x Port-Based Access Control
Authentication module to allow broadband customer premise equipment (CPE) manufacturers to integrate
standards-based and interoperable wireless LAN security features into their wireless access
points. The module is tightly integrated with OpenRG, Jungo's
leading residential and SOHO gateway software suite,
supports both Linux and VxWorks operating systems and has been tested with wireless chipsets from a wide
variety of vendors.
- The supplicant (client) requests authentication from a RADIUS client in a
wireless access point. The RADIUS client requests authentication from a
RADIUS server on the LAN or WAN
- Once the supplicant receives authentication, secure data transfer is
allowed over 802.11a, b or g
By choosing Jungo's 802.1x module integrated with OpenRG, CPE manufacturers
benefit from
OpenRG's additional security modules, RG-Firewall and RG-VPN.
Together, these embedded modules enable manufacturers to design gateways with multiple
layers of security and provide protection that goes beyond competing solutions.
In addition, OpenRG's intuitive and dynamic web-based management
allows users to control the security of their local network through a
user-friendly interface.
