Abstract

The network has become more prominent and more accessible to every layer of society. As the number of users has increased, more data flows between the network, leading to a spike in security issues. The advent of network authentication and network monitoring has helped address these concerns. However, some existing network authentication schemes are applying weak password and not adhering to the standard password policy, causing the overall security level has been decreased. In this project, the network authentication will be integrated with the Zero Knowledge Protocol (ZKP) assisted by RSA authentication scheme. Hence, the overall security level of the network authentication can be improved as compared to username/password authentication. Network monitoring plays a significant role in analyzing resource usage of hosts inside the local network. It allows the network administrator to monitor and detect potential anomalies occurred in the local network, so that the network administrator could take further action according to organization policy. In this project, Zabbix will play a pivotal role for displaying the dashboard to the network administrator.
