- Only Users with Admin rights can login to Wireless ( WPA/TKIP )
- Hi, please give me an idea on why our domain users with Admin priviledes are the only ones who can login to our wireless network. When giving Local Computer Admin privileges to domain users--this will allow them to login to wireless. ( but im not inclined of giving...

- The pitfalls of MAC filtering
- Other concernsSome NIC hardware is shipped with configuration software and device drivers that allow changing the MAC address by right-clicking on network neighborhood, then configuring the adapter. These allow changing the MAC address without changing the system registry which some people won't do due to the potential risk of...

- German researchers put final nail in WEP
- Yes. They are the underlying method of WPA.To be nice and secure, just use a sentence with punctuation and numbers that you remember easily. 20 characters should be nice and tight. Include spaces so the sentence makes sense.WPAIs WPA the same as using TKIP or AES?

- Wi-Fi Protected Access Data Encryption and Integrity
- Wi-Fi Protected Access WPA is an interim industry standard that makes 802.11 wireless LAN networking secure through a firmware upgrade to 802.11-based wireless network adapters and wireless Access Points APs. WPA replaces Wired Equivalent Privacy WEP with the combination of the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol TKIP, which provides data confidentiality...

- Just say no to WEP
- TKIP isn't much better.TKIP is based on RC4 as well.The way I understand it, TKIP is only harder to break because there are fewer packets with the individual cipher key. The security flaw is still present, it just takes more time.

- WPA wireless security offers multiple advantages over WEP
- For several years now, the primary security mechanism used between wireless access points and wireless clients has been WEP encryption. The problem is that although WEP encryption strength has increased a few times since Wi-Fi was introduced, the WEP protocol is still fundamentally weak because it uses a static encryption...

- 802.1x WPA in Windows Domain
- I have setup wireless AP's which laptops connect to using 802.1x Authentication with WPA TKIP encryption. My problem is that 802.1x authentication has to occur to open a wireless connection to the network, therefore users are unable to logon to the domain as this is attempted before 802.1x authenticates.There are...

- Just say no to WEP
- Whether you're running a home wireless network or a corporate wireless network, you need to know the truth about Wired Equivalent Privacy WEP. When WLAN hardware first came out, WEP was the standard encryption scheme offered to secure that wireless network.By design, WEP protects a wireless network from eavesdropping. However,...

- Observations on the Message Integrity Code in IEEE802.11 Wireless LANs
- This paper surveys the security of the message integrity code used in the IEEE802.11 Wireless LANs. To address the security flaws of Wired Equivalent Privacy WEP, the IEEE802.11i draft defines two data confidentiality and integrity protocols, Temporal Key Integrity Protocol TKIP and Counter-Mode-CBC-MAC Protocol CCMP. TKIP is based on RC4,...
