Wireless Security & Authentication Flashcards
AES
Advanced Encryption Standard
A specification for the encryption of electronic data established by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in 2001
TKIP
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (WPA)
A security protocol used in the IEEE 802.11 wireless networking standard.
TKIP itself is no longer considered secure, and was deprecated in the 2012 revision of the 802.11 standard.
WPA2
Wi-Fi Protected Access 2
Security certification program to secure wireless networks.
Succeeds WPA / TKIP and includes mandatory AES based encryption as a standard.
RADIUS
Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service
RADIUS is mainly a network access protocol for user authentication
TACACS+
Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System
TACACS+ is predominantly used for administrating network devices like routers and switches
AAA
Authentication, Authorization & Accounting
Kerberos
A protocol for authenticating service requests between trusted hosts across an untrusted network, such as the internet.
The default authorization technology used by Microsoft Windows.
WPA3
Wi-Fi Protected Access 3
Security certification program to secure wireless networks.
One of the features of WPA3 is enhanced open.
Enhanced Open enables encryption for traffic being sent and received over a wireless network when still using open authentication.
SAE (Dragonfly Handshake)
WPA3 Feature
Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) enables password-based authentication and a key agreement mechanism.
This protects against brute-force attacks.
MFP
WPA3 Feature
Management Frame Protection (MFP) protects unicast and broadcast management frames and encrypts unicast management frames.
AES GCMP
AES Galois Counter Mode Protocol (GCMP) is a high-performance mode of operation for symmetric encryption that supports authenticated encryption with associated data (AEAD)
