Wireless Security

Category: Security, Networking and Communications

Overview All network architectures, including wireless TCP/IP-based networks, must be grounded in sound security policies. Read this book chapter, excerpted from Cisco Press' Network Security Fundamentals, for a complete overview of wireless local-area network (WLAN) security—how it works, how it's configured, what threatens it, and how to design policies to ensure it. Understand the IEEE's 802.11 standard and the vulnerabilities associated with SSID as well as with the WEP and Open Authentication protocols. This must-read chapter also contains a section on Cisco's proprietary EAP protocol and how it bolsters WLAN security.
