Radio Frequency Identification (RFI)
An attack that captures portions of a session to play back later to convince a host that it is still talking to the original connection.
Replay Attack
An unauthorized wireless access point on a network.
Rogue Access Point
This is used by the access point of wireless LAN to identify itself and is intended to be unique for a particular area/entity on a network.
Service Set Identifier (SSID)
A wireless network operating in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz range.
Wi-Fi
