Wireless Network Security

What is wireless network security?

• Measures taken to protect a wireless network from unauthorized access or attacks.

• The size of wireless network cables

• The speed of wireless networks

• The color of wireless devices

What does TKIP stand for in the context of wireless network security?

• Time Key Integrity Protocol

• Transitional Key Internet Protocol

• Technical Key Information Protocol

• Temporal Key Integrity Protocol

What does AES stand for in the context of wireless network security?

• Advanced Encryption Standard

• Advanced Encryption Service

• Advanced Encoding Standard

• Automated Encryption System

What is WPA and how does it enhance wireless network security?

• WPA is a hardware device that increases interference in wireless networks.

• WPA enhances wireless network security by providing stronger data encryption, authentication, and key management compared to WEP.

• WPA is a software that slows down network speed rather than enhancing security.

• WPA stands for Wireless Personal Access which allows unrestricted access to wireless networks.

What are the vulnerabilities associated with WEP in wireless network security?

• Denial of Service attacks, physical security measures

• Weak encryption, key cracking attacks, lack of mutual authentication, replay attacks

• Biometric authentication, firewall protection

• Strong encryption, secure key management

Explain the concept of encryption in the context of wireless network security.

• Encryption in wireless network security is the process of encoding data transmitted over the network in a way that only authorized parties can access it. This is achieved by using algorithms to scramble the data into an unreadable format, which can only be decrypted by those with the appropriate key.

• Encryption is the process of compressing data in a wireless network

• Encryption involves broadcasting data openly without any security measures

• Encryption is a method used to slow down network speed in wireless connections

How does changing default SSID and password improve wireless network security?

• By reducing the number of connected devices

• By making it harder for unauthorized users to access the network.

• By increasing network speed

• By changing the network encryption type

Discuss the importance of regularly updating firmware for wireless network security.

• Regularly updating firmware for wireless network security is unnecessary and a waste of time.

• Regularly updating firmware for wireless network security is crucial as it helps patch vulnerabilities, improve performance, enhance compatibility, and ensure the latest security protocols are in place to protect against emerging threats.

• Firmware updates for wireless network security can introduce more vulnerabilities.

• There is no need to update firmware for wireless network security as it does not impact overall protection.

What role does MAC filtering play in enhancing wireless network security?

• MAC filtering restricts network access to only approved devices based on their MAC addresses.

• MAC filtering allows unlimited access to all devices on the network.

• MAC filtering enhances network speed by prioritizing certain devices.

• MAC filtering encrypts all data transmitted over the network.

Explain the concept of VPN and its relevance to wireless network security.

• A VPN is a physical device that boosts the signal strength of wireless networks.

• A VPN is a type of antivirus software that protects wireless networks.

• A VPN is a social media platform used to connect with other users on wireless networks.

• A VPN creates a secure encrypted connection over the internet, enhancing privacy and security, especially on public Wi-Fi networks.
