Study Notes
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
- Primary purpose: Provide wireless security by encrypting data transmitted over a wireless network.
Subnetting
- Main advantage: Allows for more efficient use of IP addresses, better organization of networks, and improved network performance.
Network Segmentation
- Primary goal: Divide a network into smaller, isolated segments to restrict access and reduce the attack surface, thus enhancing network security.
Fog Computing
- Main characteristic: Brings computation and data processing closer to the IoT devices, reducing latency and improving real-time processing capabilities.
Software-Defined Networking (SDN)
- Primary benefit: Enables centralized network management, programmability, and scalability, leading to a more agile and efficient network architecture.
Test your knowledge of wireless networking, network security, and emerging technologies such as fog computing and software-defined networking. Covering subnetting, WPA protocol, and network segmentation.
