ROOT.SG is a community based portal that aims to bring about all security professionals under one roof to share knowledge. The theme of this portal "Security Through Education" is what we at ROOT.SG believe in. We believe that the only way to really bring security home is through education. Educating endusers as well as IT professionals and equiping them with knowledge to make the Internet a safer place should indeed be a priority as low security awareness equals poor security practices. Being a community portal, this means YOU can contribute to making the Internet a safer place. You can do this by creating a new account and begin writing your own articles to share your knowledge and experience with all of us. This portal is not complete by all means. If an article you wish to contribute does not feed into any of the pre-defined categories, do email me at admin at root dot sg and something can always be done. :) Last but not least, HAPPY SHARING! |

802.1x is an IEEE standard for port-based network access control. It provides an authentication mechanism to devices wishing to attach to a LAN port, either establishing a point-to-point connection or preventing access from that port if authentication fails. It is used for most wireless 802.11 access points and is based on the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). Of course this does not mean it cannot work on a wired nework. |

 Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) is a non-proprietary redundancy protocol described in RFC 3768 designed to increase the availability of the default gateway servicing hosts on the same subnet. This increased reliability is achieved by advertising a "virtual router" (an abstract representation of master and backup routers acting as a group) as a default gateway to the host(s) instead of one physical router. Two or more physical routers are then configured to stand for the virtual router, with only one doing the actual routing at any given time. If the current physical router that is routing the data on behalf of the virtual router fails, an arrangement is made for another physical router to automatically replace it. The physical router that is currently forwarding data on behalf of the virtual router is called the master router. Physical routers standing by to take over from the master router in case something goes wrong are called backup routers. |
