16 Questions
What are two early security features used to keep wireless intruders out and protect data?
SSID Cloaking and MAC Address Filtering
What is the purpose of SSID Cloaking?
To disable the SSID beacon frame and require wireless clients to be manually configured with the SSID to connect to the network.
How does MAC Address Filtering work to control wireless access?
An administrator can manually permit or deny clients wireless access based on their physical MAC hardware address.
What is Open System Authentication and when is it typically used?
It is an authentication method that does not require a password and is typically used to provide free internet access in public areas like cafes, airports, and hotels.
What are the four shared key authentication techniques available for securing WLANs?
WEP, WPA, WPA2, WPA3
What encryption algorithm does WPA use to secure the data?
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)
Which encryption protocol is used by WPA2?
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
What are the two authentication methods available for WPA2 on home routers?
Personal and Enterprise
What are the two encryption protocols included in WPA and WPA2?
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
What does the Enterprise security mode choice for authentication require?
An Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) RADIUS server
What is used to authenticate the AP with the RADIUS server in the Enterprise security mode?
Shared key
What does WPA3 - Personal use to thwart brute force attacks?
Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE)
What does WPA3 - Enterprise use for authentication?
802.1X/EAP
What does WPA3 - Open Networks use to encrypt all wireless traffic?
