IEEE 802.1X Standard and EAP Authentication Schemes

Abstract
Authentication risks are common reasons why network users are left frustrated when attackers exploit vulnerabilities. With increasing number of network attackers, there is a necessity for reliance on authentication technologies that offer the greatest efficiency in terms of denying access to unauthorized users. IEEE 802.1X and Extensible Authentication Protocol play a major part in mitigating authentication risks including providing a framework for handling issues such as changing of password by attackers, strong credentials in unprotected networks and the risk of re-using a single password for a longer-than-safe duration.

Introduction

If an employee with access to sensitive information was terminated, then the employee is considered as an insider threat. These insiders can cause three types of threats to an organization: Sabotage, Fraud, or theft of intellectual property (IP) or data using Information Technology (IT). IT sabotage uses IT to harm the critical assets of the organization. IT can be used to steal data or IP or also for espionage by insiders. Using IT to tamper data, addition, or deletion of data for personal gain or to perform an identity crime can be considered IT fraud.

Developing the question

The choice of the question “For hospitalized elderly patients how does hourly rounding compared to two hour monitoring help in reducing the occurrence of falls and their subsequent injuries?” was based on the need to explore the importance of regular and frequent monitoring for these patients to manage the cases of falls. There is enough evidence that supports that monitoring of these patients is the key to management of their healthy issues. It is important to know that patients in the geriatric care have unmet needs and they rely on the nurse to help meet these needs. These would ...

Abstract

The medical profession in recent years has been on the forefront in making sure that the care given to patients is in line with the conventional methodologies of health care. Additionally, the care given to the patients must aim at improving the well-being of the patients without putting the lives of these patients in danger. Moreover, the care given apart from being scientifically sound, it has to be ethical and legal. However, other alternative techniques have proved to be useful in taking care of different ailments affecting patients. These complimentary methods not only aim at healing a patient but ...
