A mesh basic service set ( MBSS) is a self-contained network of mesh stations that share a mesh profile, defined in 802.11s. [ 9] Each node may also be an access point hosting its own basic service set, for example using the mesh BSS to provide Internet access for local users. In such a system, the BSS created by the access point is distinct ...
Access Point Name. An Access Point Name ( APN) is the name of a gateway [ 1] between a mobile network ( GSM, GPRS, 3G, 4G and 5G) and another computer network, frequently the public Internet. [ 2] A mobile device making a data connection must be configured with an APN to present to the carrier. The carrier will then examine this identifier to ...
Rogue access point. A rogue access point is a wireless access point that has been installed on a secure network without explicit authorization from a local network administrator, [1] whether added by a well-meaning employee or by a malicious attacker.
Wireless access point. In computer networking, a wireless access point, or more generally just access point ( AP ), is a networking hardware device that allows other Wi-Fi devices to connect to a wired network or wireless network. As a standalone device, the AP may have a wired or wireless connection to a router or router, but, in a wireless ...
Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System ( TACACS, / ˈtækæks /) refers to a family of related protocols handling remote authentication and related services for network access control through a centralized server. The original TACACS protocol, which dates back to 1984, was used for communicating with an authentication server, common ...
Description. Network access control is a computer networking solution that uses a set of protocols to define and implement a policy that describes how to secure access to network nodes by devices when they initially attempt to access the network. [ 3] NAC might integrate the automatic remediation process (fixing non-compliant nodes before ...
In computer security, an access-control list ( ACL) is a list of permissions [ a] associated with a system resource (object or facility). An ACL specifies which users or system processes are granted access to resources, as well as what operations are allowed on given resources. [ 1] Each entry in a typical ACL specifies a subject and an operation.
Attack surface. The attack surface of a software environment is the sum of the different points (for "attack vectors") where an unauthorized user (the "attacker") can try to enter data to, extract data, control a device or critical software in an environment. [ 1][ 2] Keeping the attack surface as small as possible is a basic security measure.
