802.11b

48
Q

What spread spectrum technique does the 802.11b protocol in question use?

A

DSSS

49
Q

There are four 802.11 protocols that can be used for communication in the 2.4GHz band, which are they?

A

802.11b, 802.11n, 802.11g, 802.11ax

50
Q

Legacy 802.11 shared key authentication used static encryption keys. With 802.11i and WPA2 authentication dynamic encryption keys are used instead.

Explain the main difference between static encryption keys and dynamic encryption keys. How does dynamic encryption keys help protect a users data?

A

The main difference between the static and dynamic encryption key is that for static, every device has the same key, meaning that if a malicious actor figures out the key, the whole communication can be decrypted.

Dynamic encryption keys protects the users by randomizing out an encryption key to every user and session. This hardens the possibility of eaves dropping on the transmissions.
