Section 3.4 Install and configure wireless security settings Flashcards
Without proper ___________, any person with a wireless device can connect to your network and eavesdrop or access private data?
Security procedures
Using you wireless device on an open unencrypted network could mean what?
Your passwords and private data are being transmitted in clear text and could be captured by hackers.
What concept heavily involves the use of encryption techniques coupled with traditional security mechanisms such as access control and authentication?
Wireless Security
What wireless security protocol used the RC4 key encryption algorithm, along with a weak 40-bit initialization vector as a seed, to encrypt communications before they were transmitted over the wireless network?
Wired Equivalent Privacy
What wireless security protocol encrypted data with a 128-bit key that was routinely changed during sessions using the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)?
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
What authentication protocol is used primarily in WPA and WPA2 based wireless networks for securely transporting authentication data?
Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)
What authentication protocol uses TLS to transport EAP within an encrypted communications tunnel over a wireless connection?
Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP)
What authentication protocol establishes a secure tunnel through the use of a Protected Access Credential (PAC) and has 3 phases?
EAP Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling
What is the most common Internet standard used for authenticating clients in a client-server environment?
RADIUS
What kind of servers authenticate remote users accessing a network through a network device?
RADIUS servers
What was designed to allow users with less technical savvy to easily set up a wireless network and associated devices?
Wi-Fi Protected Setup
What wireless security method was designed to halt users before accessing a wireless network by trapping packets until a browser is opened?
Captive Portals
What is a physical examination and review of you current network environment?
Site Survey
What helps determine the best placement and coverage for wireless access points?
Site Survey
What do you call a visual representation of the wireless signal strength that can be used to find dead zones or areas that need further coverage from current or new WAPs?
Heat Maps
