  11. Audit WLAN Access Understanding Elements of WLAN Security • To effectively secure a wireless network consider: • Authentication of the person or device connecting to the wireless network • Authorization of the person or device to use the WLAN • Protection of the data transmitted over the WLAN

  12. Providing Effective Authentication and Authorization

  13. Protecting WLAN Data Transmissions • Wireless data encryption standards in use today include: • Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) • Dynamic WEP, combined with 802.1X authentication, provides adequate data encryption and integrity • Compatible with most hardware and software devices • (How is this a “wired equivalent”?! Trust me: WEP sucks) • http://www.isaac.cs.berkeley.edu/isaac/wep-faq.html • Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) • Changes the encryption key with each packet • Uses a longer initialization vector • Adds a signed message integrity check value • Incorporates an encrypted frame counter • (WPA is only if you are serious about security)

  14. Alternative Approaches to Encrypt WLAN Traffic • Alternatives used to protect WLAN traffic include the use of: • Virtual Private Network (VPN) • Internet Protocol Security (IPSec)

  15. System Requirements for Implementing 802.1X

  16. Guidelines for Securing Wireless Networks • Require data protection for all wireless communications • Require 802.1X authentication to help prevent spoofing, wardrivers, and accidental threats to your network • Use software scanning tools to locate and shut down rogue access points on your corporate network

  17. Agenda • Overview of Wireless Solutions • Securing a Wireless Network • Implementing a Wireless Network Using Password Authentication • Configuring Wireless Network Infrastructure Components • Configuring Wireless Network Clients

  18. Components Required toImplement PEAP-MS-CHAP v2
