original IEEE 802.11 standard provided the following set of security features to secure wireless LAN communication: Two different authentication methods: Open system and shared key The Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption algorithm An Integrity Check Value (ICV), encrypted with WEP, which provided data integrity Over time, these security features proved to be insufficient to protect wireless LAN communication in common scenarios. To address the security issues of the original IEEE 802.11 standard

Is it Ethical to steal wireless internet service? Is it ethical or legal to steal your neighbors wireless internet service? Is it ethical or legal to steal wireless internet service from a business? Furthermore, is it ethical or legal to parade around town looking for open wireless networks? The following exert is from Douglas Schweitzer, a free lance writer in Nesconset, N.Y. “There's no denying that, whether you consider unauthorized use legal or not, leaving your wireless network unsecured

Wireless Network Security Wireless networks in personal homes are becoming more and more popular. With the ease of using no wires and the signal being broadcasted throughout the house, the new printers coming out that are network ready, and along with the new gaming systems like Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 all have wireless network settings. A wireless network is the most vulnerable network out if the precautions of taking time to set up the security properly. Everyone saves personal important

Protected Access (WPA), based on draft 3 of the IEEE 802.11i amendment. WPA was designed to be a replacement for WEP networks without requiring hardware replacements, using a subset IEEE 802.11i amendment. Organizations who adopt WPA can take advantage of the following features: * Strong cryptography support from the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), based on the RC4 cipher; * WPA-Enterprise, a mechanism for network authentication using IEEE 802.1x and a supported EAP type, one of EAP/TLS

. CIS 513 Assignment One Unicode & Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) Name School Class Professor Dates Abstract Unicode provides a standardized means for text in nearly any language to be shared across the Internet. Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum is a means by which transmissions “hop” between a variety of frequencies, lessening the transmission’s vulnerability to outside sources. Assignment One Unicode Our world is increasingly shrinking as new technologies are bringing

Determining Deployment Scenario - The first step in designing a wireless LAN depends on the correct type of wireless network to be deployed. 2. Selecting the IEEE Wireless Network - After the deployment scenario has been determined, the next step is deciding which IEEE wireless network type would be suitable from these three standards: IEEE 802.1 1b; 802.1 1a; and 802.1 1g. 3. Type of Access Point Management - the management functions of a wireless LAN, for example, user authentication, encryption

WIRELESS NETWORKING Introduction A wireless network is any type of computer network that uses wireless data connections for connecting network nodes .Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business).Installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation

Observing the Wireless Spectrum Introduction This lab is going to be very interesting and challenging. We are being introduced to what, for some, is going to be the first time ever using a program that captures and records signals. We must then analyze them and use this as a tool to better be prepared to install and even troubleshoot our networks. My goal for this lab would be to gain a better understanding of this program and be able to recognize how it could be useful for me in my future endeavors
