Exam 18: Wireless Network Security

to certify interoperability for 802.11b products an industry consortium named the __________ was formed.

In simple terms, the wireless environment consists of three components that provide point of attack: the endpoint, the ______________, and the access point.

the MPDU exchange for distributing pairwise keys is known as the _________ which the StA and SP use to confirm the existence of the PMK, to verify the selection of the cipher suite, and to derive a fresh PtK for data sessions.

the use of encryption and authentication protocols is the standard method of countering attempts to alter or insert transmissions.

You should allow only specific computers to access your wireless network.

the DS can be a switch, a wired network, or a wireless network.

the principal threats to wireless transmission are eavesdropping, altering or inserting messages, and disruption.

__________ is the primary service used by stations to exchange MPDUs when the MPDUs must traverse the DS to get from a station in one BSS to a station in another BSS.

the pairwise master key is derived from the group key.

___________ and links, such as personal network Bluetooth devices, barcode readers, and handheld PDAs, pose a security risk in terms of both eavesdropping and spoofing.

the term used for certified 802.11b products is ___________ .

IEEE 802.11 defines seven services that need to be provided by the wireless LAN to achieve functionality equivalent to that which is inherent to wired LANs.

the master session key is also known as the __________ key.

the IEEE 802.11 protocol stack consists of the logical link control layer, the medium access control layer, and the _________ layer.

the integration service enables transfer of data between a station on an IEEE 802.11 LAN and a station on an integrated IEEE 802.x LAN.

the specification of a protocol along with the chosen key length is known as a __________ .

IEEE 802.11i is the standard for wireless LAN security.

Handheld PDAs pose a security risk in terms of both eavesdropping and spoofing.

the main threat involving wireless access points is unauthorized access to the network.the principal approach for preventing success is the __________ standard for port-based network access control.

Security policies for mobile devices should assume that any mobile device will not be stolen or accessed by a malicious party.
