Wifi Flashcards
The first interation of ., shared password encryption, easy to crack. Implement a poor usage of RC4. Should not be used anymore.
WEP
Encryption protocol used on WEP.
RC4
Wifi protocol that uses dynamic key and larger key sizes TKIP and RC4, considered secure.
WAP
Wifi protocol that uses a PSK and AES as a encryption standard, considered the most secure one.
WAP2
Has a goal to enable anyone to join to the AP just by pressing two buttons. Has a 8 digit pin to use at the client side that is easy to crack.
WPS
IEEE standard, port-based access control. Has a wireless client known as supplicant and authenticator, and a source providing authentication servers such as RADIUS and TACACS+.
802.1X
Authentication protocol that provides for a varied authentication methods. Allows for mutual authentication between devices as well as directory-based authentication services. There are several different variatons of this protocol.
EAP
Authentication protocol that uses TLS. Requires both a server-side certificate and a client side certificate. If you want the ultimate in 802.11 authentication security, this protocol is the way to go.
EAP-TLS
Authentication protocol that only requires a server-side certificate. Goes beyond the TLS protocol, adding a tunnel to provide better security.
EAP-TTLS
Authentication protocol that is a improved version of EAP-TLS, requires a digital certificate on the server side connection to create a secure TLS tunnel. Typically use digital certificates or smart cards for authentication.
PEAP
Proprietary authentication protocol developed by Cisco used in wireless. Uses dynamic WEP keys and provides mutual authentication and a centralized RADIUS server. Requires wireless clients to reauthenticate periodically.
