Rene
What is Anonymous Authentication?
page 174
This allows virtually anyone to connect to the wireless portal
Rene
What is Server Authentication?
page 174
This requires the workstation to authenticate against the server.
Rene
What is 2-way Authentication?
page 174
This requires both ends of the connection (client and server) to authenticate to confirm validity
Rene
Which Protocol provide services similar to TCP and UDP for WAP?
page 175
Wireless Transaction Protocol (WTP)
Rene
What are the technologies used to provide services between devices?
page 175
- Wireless Session Protocol (WSP) - manages the session information and connection between devices.
- Wireless Transaction Protocol (WTP) - provides services similar to TCP & UDP for WAP.
- Wireless Transport Layer Security (WTLS) is the security layer of WAP
- Wireless Datagram Protocol (WDP) - provides the common interface between devices
Rene
What are captive Portals?
page 180
Require users to agree to some condition before they use the network or Internet.
Rene
What does NIST recommend that VPN use for validated encryption algorithms?
page 181

Rene
What are the five EAP types adopted by the WPA/WPA2 standard?
page 181
- EAP-TLS
- EAP-PSK
- EAP-MD5
- LEAP
- PEAP
Rene
What technology that requires a user to bring the client close to the AP in order to verify that the device is present?
page 182
Near Field Communications (NFC)
Rene
What is LEAP?
page 182
Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol (LEAP) was created by Cisco as an extension to EAP, but it’s being phased out in favor of PEAP.
It lacks native Windows support
Rene
What is PEAP?
page 182
Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP)
Cisco, RSA and Microsoft worked together to create PEAP,
Rene
What is War Driving?
page 185
Refers to driving around town with a laptop looking for APs to communicate with.
Rene
What is War Chalking?
page 185
Involves those who discover a way into the network leaving signals on, or outside.
Rene

page 188
- Rogue Access Point
- Jamming
- Interference
- Bluejacking
- Evil Twin
- Replay Attack
Rene
What is CCMP?
page 172
Counter mode with Cipher block chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol (CCMP)
Uses a 128-bit AES encryption with 48-bit initialization vector.
