The Port Based Network Access Control (PNAC) solution is a portable implementation of the IEEE standard 802.1X. It can be used in both LAN Switches and Wireless LAN Access Points (AP) for providing security services. When used in LAN Switches, it offers access control to protected resources existing in the switched network. When used in WLAN Access Points, it not only provides authentication of the WLAN stations, but also improves the security by making use of the periodically exchanged key for encrypting the data. The PNAC solution can easily be ported to various leading operating systems and switch hardware using well-defined external interfaces. The PNAC software reduces the time-to-market for OEMs and VARs who wish to incorporate the security services into their switching/routing devices. Provides easy portability and maintenance on multiple platforms.
