re: #463 Nevergiveup

Is the Cert on your ID card that a Cat card reader reads?

No..Totally different…Let’s say the DOD says it’s OK for you to access resources. But it is impossible for you to download an issued Cert from the CA server. So upon authorization for a brief second the 802.1x security turns off and 1 cert arrives into what’s called Windows Stores. At the same time a 128 bit encryption PVK file is send from another server..These two files must match. In microseconds the port turns back on 802.1x and the network is now protected again.
It’s really near impossible to hack.. The’ easiest’ way to get in would be through a telnet session with the Cisco Switch..
