A levelezőm azt hiszi, hogy Luke Butcher a következőeket írta:

You could look into 802.1x MAC Authentication type solutions. Normally
these however are implemented at a switch level. 

Generally EAP/LEAP/PEAP type stuff is normally associated with wireless
but the concepts apply to any publicly available connection mechanism.
It's used to secure the first point of entry into the network.

...if you do not take security very seriously.
The problem with leap is that it is known broken
and its support is deprecating.

Of course still better than just dumbly believing in a claimed
identity (MAC address).

If real authentication, integrity and confidentality is needed,
I would do IPSEC. Any other (or same) ideas?
