17 Wireless Network Security: Wi-Fi, 802.11i, WAP, & WTLS Explained

🔒 Unlocking Wireless Security: Deep Dive into IEEE 802.11i, Wi-Fi, WAP & WTLS Explained

Overview:

This episode provides a comprehensive look into wireless network security, focusing on two critical areas: IEEE 802.11i for Wireless LANs (WLANs) and security standards for Web access from mobile devices. We start with an essential overview of IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi) architecture and components, then dive deep into the IEEE 802.11i security specification, including its phases of operation and cryptographic functions. The second part explores the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) architecture, the Wireless Transport Layer Security (WTLS) protocol, and various approaches to WAP end-to-end security, shedding light on how your mobile communications stay protected.

Key takeaways:

• Understand the IEEE 802.11 standard, its components, and the role of the Wi-Fi Alliance.
• Learn about the IEEE 802 Protocol Architecture, including Physical, MAC, and LLC layers.
• Grasp the specifics of IEEE 802.11i (Wi-Fi Protected Access - WPA/WPA2) for WLAN security.
• Discover the key phases of 802.11i operation: Discovery, Authentication, Key Management, and Protected Data Transfer.
• Explore the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) and its architectural model for mobile web access.
• Examine Wireless Transport Layer Security (WTLS) as the primary security layer for WAP.
• Gain insights into different approaches for WAP end-to-end security, including TLS over TCP/IP.
