Enhancing Network Security: A Robust Network Access Control and Authentication Mechanism for Secure Data Transmission

Abstract

In an era dominated by digital communication and networked systems, the imperative to secure data transmission is more critical than ever. This paper introduces a cutting-edge Network Access Control (NAC) and authentication mechanism aimed at fortifying the security of data transmission across networks. Leveraging advanced technologies such as biometric authentication, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and anomaly detection, the proposed mechanism establishes a robust line of defense against unauthorized access and evolving cyber threats. Drawing on a comprehensive review of literature, real-world case studies, and practical implementations, this paper substantiates the efficacy and feasibility of the proposed approach. The integration of innovative security protocols serves to address the vulnerabilities inherent in traditional access control systems, contributing to a dynamic and proactive network security paradigm.
