802.1x Authentication and Authorization Deployment for Wireless Network at BYU-Hawaii Executive Summary: In this report we will take a detailed look at BYU-Hawaii's "Brigham Young University" Current Hawaii and suggested network layout with the help of diagrams and descriptions. The BUY-Hawaii network is made up of approximately 3,000 active users of which 2,500 are students and the rest are staff. The main concern with the current BYU-Hawaii network is that they have no authentication and authorization control, so anyone can easily access their network in the nearby area of ​​campus, and they do not have a monitoring system to indicate how the network is being used and more important information can easily be sniffed out by anyone on their network. In the proposed network we will provide authentication and authorization using firewalls, 802.1X, and other techniques for wired and wireless clients. Authentication can be achieved via the 802.1X authentication server while authorization can be achieved using Radius. Also we will implement WPA2 Personal "Wireless Protected Access version 2" on the access points through which we will get the access point protected from unauthorized users using the setup password.ContentsExecutive Summary: 2Introduction: 4Current Network: 5Description: 5Current Network Diagram: 5Network proposed: 6Proposed network diagram: 6Security requirements: 7IEEE 802.1X: 7Requester: 7Authenticator: 7Authentication server: 7RADIUS server: 8Port-based authentication: 8WPA: 9Equipment: 9CISCO 7301 router: 9Switch: 10Access points: 12Cisco internal access point Aironet 3502i: 14Wiring: 15Conclusion 15References: 16Introduction:In this report we...... half of the document......pa-and-wpa2-wireless-encryption-and-why-it-matters/: http: //www.howtogeek. com/167783/htg-explains-the-difference-between-wep-wpa-and-wpa2-wireless-encryption-and-why-it-matters/.
