Wireless Security

• WHY
• Adds a New Dimension to Security
• Wireless Is Like a Radio Station
• Broadcasts a Signal in Every Direction
• Anyone Can Pick Up the Signal
• Can Access Your Network, Computer and Files
• Can Read Files and Save Things On Your Computer
• Have Complete Access to Your Network

Wireless Security

• HOW (NAT)
• Traditional Security Includes Network Address
  Translation (NAT)
• Every Computer Must Have an IP Address
• Computers Mailing Address
• Identifies the Computer to Others.
• Router Has Single Public IP Address
• The Only Viewable IP Address Is the Router
• Good for Wired Networks
• Not Enough for Wireless

25
Wireless Security

• HOW (WEP)
• Wireless Equivalency Protocol (WEP) is an Older
  Encryption System
• Creates an Access Key
• Information is Encrypted With That Key
• Key is Needed for Decryption
• WEP is Fine For Most Home Networks
• Keys Can Be Broken
• Update the Key Often

26
Wireless Security

• HOW (WAP)
• WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is a Newer
  Encryption System
• It Works Like WEP
• Its Similar To WEP But Uses a Larger Key
• Its Harder To Break
• It Automatically Updates Keys
• Between WEP and WPA, WPA is Best

27
Wireless Security

• HOW (MAC)
• MAC is the media access control.
• Every NIC has Fixed MAC Address
• Unique and Not Changeable
• Computers Social Security Number
• Address Filter Table is Built Into Router
• Exclusive List of Authorized MAC Addresses
• Router Will Reject All Other Computers

28
Wireless Security

• FIRST STEPS
• Accessed Through Web Based Router Setup
• Accessed From Any Web Browser
• Change Default Username and Password
