Abstract :
Network security plays an important part in LAN system. The 802.1X protocol provides a port-based network access control to the LAN. In this paper, three cases of user name attacks against the 802.1X are given firstly. Then, the design flaws of 802.1X system are analyzed. At last, an improved authentication process is presented and how to prevent the user name attacks is discussed.
