Enterprise encryption gateway
Appearance
An Enterprise Encryption Gateway (EEG)- is a layer 2 encryption device, similar to VPN, that allows for strong authentication and encryption for data across a wireless medium. The client devices have client-side authentication/encrytion software, and the EEGs are the encryption termination point in the network. Autonomous access points are placed downstream from the EEGs and may act as an 802.11X authenticator.
