- 13 Key Elements of SecurityConfidentiality

Ensure that only authorized users and devices are able to access the network
Integrity
Ensure that transmitted data and management traffic is not altered in transit
Availability
Deal with RF interference, both intentional and accidental - 2Wireless Threats:Rogue APs
Ad Hoc Networks
Client Misassociation
Denial of Service
Passive Attacks - 3Rogue APThese are APs connected to your wired infrastructure without your knowledge.
-Honeypot APs
-Unsecured backdoor access
Mitigation:
-Deploy WLC to manage Aps
-RLDP (Rogue Location Discovery Protocol) - 4AD HOCNetworks are created peer to peer or directly between stations.
-Passing corporate policies
Steal info by bridging to the secure wired LAN
Mitigation:
- Prevent harm by sending de-authentication frames to keep your stations from associating via ad hoc. - 5Client MisassociationClients who automatically connect to known SSID's may be connected to a spoofed SSID.
Mitigation:
Management Frame Protection (MFP)
-With this method, each management frame includes a cryptographic hash called a Message Integrity Check (MIC). - 6Denial of ServiceNot intended for stealing information
Can cause network grief, like jamming frequency where your WLAN lives.
Mitigation:
Infrastructure Mode.
Client Mode. - 7Passive Attacks-Usually involve wireless sniffing.
- Hacker captures large amounts of raw frames to analyze online with sniffing software used to discover a key and decrypt it on the go.
Mitigation:
-Intrusion Detection System (IDS)
-Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) - 8AuthenticationAuthentication is a process of finding out whether something is exactly what it appears to be.
- 9Authentication can be performed by using something:-Something you know.
-Something you have.
-Something you are. - 10Two-Factor AuthenticationCombination of something you know, you have and you are.
- 11Authentication can be used to to identify the _______ connecting to the ______, the ______ of the _______, or _______.The machine connecting to the network.
The user of the machine.
OR both. - 12Encryption is the process by whichinformation (plain text) is transformed using a specefic process (the cipher) to produce a result (the encrypted result) that is only readable with the KEY.
- 13Creating an encryption method is choosing an ________, and defining a ________.Creating an encryption method is choosing an
ALGORITHM (A CIPHER METHOD)
and defining a
KEY. - 14Encryption can be achieved using ________ or ________ methods.Symmetrical = Same key used for encryption and decryption.
Asymmetrical = One key for encryption and another key for decryption. - 15Symmetrical EncryptionWith this method, the same process used to encrypt is reversed to decrypt.
- 16Asymmetrical EncryptionWith this method, the process used to encrypt (called cipher) is different from the decrypt process (called the key).
- 17In the case of wireless security, a key can be ...... common to all users of an SSID or unique to each user.
-Unique keys are more secure but require a more complex user authentication infrastructure. - 18There are 2 basic types of encryption methods:-Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)
-Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) - 19The initial 802.11 standard described 2 forms of authentication:1) Open Authentication
2) Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) - 20WEP can be used for both ...... authentication and/ or for encryption.
- 21With or without WEP, the first step to authentication is the client sending a ____ ____ and the AP sending a ____ ____.Probe request,
Probe response.
Once it knows the WLAN characteristics from the probe response, the client sends an authentication request. - 22With Open system, the authentication phase is just a step to ensure that the client is a ...... valid 802.11 device.
The AP responds with an authentication response indicating a SUCCESS status. - 23With WEP authentication...-AP sends auth response containing the unecrypted challenge text.
-Client encrypts the challenge text using one of its WEP keys and send it back to AP
-AP compares the encrypted challenge text with its copy of the encrypted challenge text. If the text is the same, AP will allow the client into the WLAN. - 24WEP-Does not authenticate each packet
-Initialization vector (IV) > 24 bit /plain text
-Uses static keys
-104 bit keys easily cracked
-One way authentication - only the client is authenticated, thus allowing Rogue APs to impersonate. - 25These 3 key lengths can be used:40-bit key
104-bit key
128-bit key - 26IVInitialization Vector (IV)
-24 bits.
-An IV is a block of bits that is used to produce a unique encryption key.
WEP key sizes are combined with the IV. Just add 24 to the bit key size that it's combing with.
40 > 64 bit
104 > 128 bit
128 > 152 bit - 27The data is encrypted using the ________ algorithm and with a key stream that is a combination of the ________ key and the ________.RC4
WEP

*This is not a strong security mechanism because spoofing a MAC address is quite easy.* - 29Centralized Authentication Method & Components:-802.1X
-Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)
-RADIUS
-Certificates - 30802.1XDefines port-based access control.
- 31802.1X 3 RolesSupplicant - provides identity information to the networks.
Authenticator - Device that controls access to the networks. Acts as relay between the Supplicant and the Authentication Server.
Authentication Server - RADIUS server that validates the identity info provided and sends authorization attributes such as VLAN, ACL, SESSION TIME-OUT, URL FOR REDIRECTION. - 32EAPEAP describes headers that can be used to identify typical packets of an authentication dialog:
-REQUEST
-CHALLENGE
-SUCCESS
-FAILURE
EAP does describe authentication method, just simply describes those headers. - 33RADIUSRemote Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) is the main protocol described for authentication in the 802.1X protocol.

- 62Comparing WPA and WPA2WPA mandates TKIP, and AES is optional.
WPA2 mandates the AES/CCMP, and doesn’t allow TKIP
With WPA2, key management allows keys to be cached to allow for faster connections. - 63EAP-TLSEAP-TLS (Transport Layer Security) is an authentication mechanism used in wireless networks that relies on certificates.
