Survey of Wireless Networking Discussing Networking in General...

• Security

  • Physical
    • Cables - has a known medium; very high security. Fiber has the highest, no radiation leakage.
    • Containment - IR is limited range and an identifier is needed to join network. If all cable and access points are known- Fiber is the best.
  • Encryption (SSL, PKI, IPSec)
    • Encrypted transmission allows high privacy.
    • Levels range from network identifier, to MAC level encryption to Payload encryption.
