Study Notes
- Wireless networks face challenge of maintaining data confidentiality and ensuring only authorized individuals access data.
- Authentication required before connecting to wireless network, often involving a username and password, and possibly multi-factor authentication.
- Data sent over wireless networks must be encrypted to protect against unauthorized access.
- WPA2 and WPA3 are common types of wireless encryption, with WPA2 using CCMP block cipher mode and WPA3 using GCMP.
- WPA2 has security issue with pre-shared keys, allowing attackers to capture hash during four-way handshake and perform brute force attacks.
- WPA3 introduces mutual authentication method called SAE, removing possibility of attackers gaining access to hash and performing brute force attacks.
- Authentication servers used to manage logins and authentication for devices on network, allowing centralization and easier management.
- RADIUS and TACACS are common protocols for communicating with authentication servers, with RADIUS being widely used and supported.
- Kerberos is authentication method used for logging into Windows domains, supporting single sign-on.
