Description

Security II: Wireless Network Security

Instructor: Abraham Rubinstein, HEIG-VD Switzerland

Evaluation: final exam, lab assignments

Prerequisites:                                   

ˇ         Knowledge of communication protocols

ˇ         LAN technologies (Ethernet)

 

Wireless technology is becoming ubiquitous, not only at home and at the work place, but also in public places with companies like Google offering the service for free in entire cities. Although the use of Wireless LAN brings with it increased mobility and the flexibility for the users, it can also be the source of considerable security risks, reliability problems and of low quality of service. These problems can be dealt with and solved with the proper level of knowledge of the technology.

 

This course will cover both theoretical and practical aspects of IEEE 802.11x networks, including a review of applicable standards, the protocol architecture, CSMA/CA, RTS/CTS and contention free access mode protocols, wireless security, including the weaknesses of WEP and WPA, physical layer channels in the ISM band, frequency reutilization, layer-2 wireless roaming, and troubleshooting aspects.
