P802.1X-2020-Rev: Port-Based Network Access Control
IEEE 802 LANs are deployed in networks that convey or provide access to critical data, that support mission critical applications, or that charge for service. Protocols that configure, manage, and regulate access to these networks and network-based services and applications typically run over the networks themselves. Port-based network access control regulates access to the network, guarding against transmission and reception by unidentified or unauthorized parties, and consequent network disruption, theft of service, or data loss.
This project is a maintenance revision of IEEE Std 802.1X-2020. The ‘Introduction to the draft’ in the cover pages of each draft describes the maintenance items, technical, and editorial corrections included in that draft.
