802.1x is an IEEE standard for user authentication on a local area network (LAN). This standard provides a secure method of authentication for devices attempting to connect to a LAN. 802.1x uses the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) to authenticate users over a secure connection using password-based authentication, digital certificates, or other authentication methods. 802.1x also provides encryption of data transmitted over the network and can be used to limit access to the network to only authenticated users.
