Wireless Security & Glossary 10BaseT. An IEEE standard (802.3) for operating 10 Mbps Ethernet networks (LANs) with twisted pair cabling and a wiring hub. 802.11 standard. 802.11 or IEEE 802.11 is a type of radio technology used for wireless local area networks (WLANs). It is a standard that has been developed by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers), http://standards.ieee.org.
802.11a. An IEEE specification for wireless networking that operates in the 5 GHz frequency range (5.725 GHz to 5.850 GHz) with a maximum 54 Mbps data transfer rate. The 5 GHz frequency band is not as crowded as the 2.4 GHz frequency, because the 802.11a specification offers more radio channels than the 802.11b. These additional channels can help avoid radio and microwave interference. 802.11b. International standard for wireless networking that operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency range (2.4 GHz to 2.
also be a switch. But they are all involved in making sure data is transferred from one location to another. A bridge connects devices that all use the same kind of protocol. A router can connect networks that use differing protocols. It also reads the addresses included in the packets and routes them to the appropriate computer station, working with any other routers in the network to choose the best path to send the packets on.
Bandwidth. The amount of transmission capacity that is available on a network at any point in time. Available bandwidth depends on several variables such as the rate of data transmission speed between networked devices, network overhead, number of users, and the type of device used to connect PCs to a network. It is similar to a pipeline in that capacity is determined by size: the wider the pipe, the more water can flow through it; the more bandwidth a network provides, the more data can flow through it.
example, wireless, Ethernet or token ring). Wireless bridges are commonly used to link buildings in campuses. Broadband. A comparatively fast Internet connection. Services such as ISDN, cable modem, DSL and satellite are all considered broadband as compared to dial-up Internet access. There is no official speed definition of broadband but services of 100Kbps and above are commonly thought of as broadband. Bus adapter.
Collision avoidance. A network node characteristic for proactively detecting that it can transmit a signal without risking a collision. Crossover cable. A special cable used for networking two computers without the use of a hub. Crossover cables may also be required for connecting a cable or DSL modem to a wireless gateway or access point. Instead of the signals transferring in parallel paths from one set of plugs to another, the signals "crossover.
CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance). The principle medium access method employed by IEEE 802.11 WLANs. It is a "listen before talk": method of minimizing (but not eliminating) collisions caused by simultaneous transmission by multiple radios. IEEE 802.11 states collision avoidance method rather than collision detection must be used, because the standard employs half duplex radios—radios capable of transmission or reception—but not both simultaneously.
from typical "wall wart" transformers that plug into a wall socket and provide DC power via a tiny plug to larger, enterprise-level Power Over Ethernet systems that inject DC power into the Ethernet cables connecting access points. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). A utility that enables a server to dynamically assign IP addresses from a predefined list and limit their time of use so that they can be reassigned.
DSL (Digital Subscriber Lines). Various technology protocols for high-speed data, voice and video transmission over ordinary twisted-pair copper POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) telephone wires. Encryption key. An alphanumeric (letters and/or numbers) series that enables data to be encrypted and then decrypted so it can be safely shared among members of a network. WEP uses an encryption key that automatically encrypts outgoing wireless data.
Gateway. In the wireless world, a gateway is an access point with additional software capabilities such as providing NAT and DHCP. Gateways may also provide VPN support, roaming, firewalls, various levels of security, etc. HotSpot. A place where you can access Wi-Fi service. This can be for free or for a fee. HotSpots can be inside a coffeeshop, airport lounge, train station, convention center, hotel or any other public meeting area.
IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), New York, www.ieee.org. A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. It has more than 300,000 members and is involved with setting standards for computers and communications. IEEE802.11. A set of specifications for LANs from The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Most wired networks conform to 802.3, the specification for CSMA/CD based Ethernet networks or 802.
applications. An Internet appliance can be Wi-Fi enabled or it can be connected via a cable to the local network. IP (telephony). Technology that supports voice, data and video transmission via IP-based LANs, WANs, and the Internet. This includes VoIP (Voice over IP). IP address. A 32-bit number that identifies each sender or receiver of information that is sent across the Internet.
modems and network adapters. ISA has been replaced by PCI and is not very common anymore. ISO Network Model (International Standards Organization). A network model developed by the ISO that consists of seven different levels, or layers. By standardizing these layers, and the interfaces in between, different portions of a given protocol can be modified or changed as technologies advance or systems requirements are altered.
such as an Internet connections, printers, files and drives. When Wi-Fi is used to connect the devices, the system is known as a wireless LAN or WLAN. MAC (Medium Access Controller). Every wireless 802.11 device has its own specific MAC address hard-coded into it. This unique identifier can be used to provide security for wireless networks. When a network uses a MAC table, only the 802.11 radios that have had their MAC addresses added to that network's MAC table will be able to get onto the network.
a type of PC adapter card that either works without wires (Wi-Fi) or attaches to a network cable to provide two-way communication between the computer and network devices such as a hub or switch. Most office wired NICs operate at 10 Mbps (Ethernet), 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet) or 10/100 Mbps dual speed. High-speed Gigabit and 10 Gigabit NIC cards are also available. See PC Card. PC Card.
Peer-to-peer network. A wireless or wired computer network that has no server or central hub or router. All the networked PCs are equally able to act as a network server or client, and each client computer can talk to all the other wireless computers without having to go through an access point or hub. However, since there is no central base station to monitor traffic or provide Internet access, the various signals can collide with each other, reducing overall performance. PHY (Physical Layer).
Residential gateway. A wireless device that connects multiple PCs, peripherals and the Internet on a home network. Most Wi-Fi residential gateways provide DHCP and NAT as well. RJ-45. Standard connectors used in Ethernet networks. Even though they look very similar to standard RJ-11 telephone connectors, RJ-45 connectors can have up to eight wires, whereas telephone connectors have only four. Roaming. Moving seamlessly from one AP coverage area to another with no loss in connectivity. Router.
WLAN must use the same SSID. A device will not be permitted to join the BSS unless it can provide the unique SSID. Because an SSID can be sniffed in plain text from a packet, it does not supply any security to the network. An SSID is also referred to as a Network Name because essentially it is a name that identifies a wireless network. SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). Commonly used encryption scheme used by many online retail and banking sites to protect the financial integrity of transactions.
takes care of handling the actual delivery of the data, TCP takes care of keeping track of the packets that a message is divided into for efficient routing through the Internet. For example, when a web page is downloaded from a web server, the TCP program layer in that server divides the file into packets, numbers the packets, and then forwards them individually to the IP program layer. Although each packet has the same destination IP address, it may get routed differently through the network.
any operating system. UPnP boasts device-driver independence and zero-configuration networking. USB (Universal Serial Bus). A high-speed bidirectional serial connection between a PC and a peripheral that transmits data at the rate of 12 megabits per second. The new USB 2.0 specification provides a data rate of up to 480 Mbps, compared to standard USB at only 12 Mbps. 1394, FireWire and iLink all provide a bandwidth of up to 400 Mbps. VoIP (VoiceOver Internet Protocol).
networks are considered WANs and Wi-Fi networks are considered Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs). WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). Basic wireless security provided by Wi-Fi. In some instances, WEP may be all a home or smallbusiness user needs to protect wireless data. WEP is available in 40-bit (also called 64-bit), or in 108-bit (also called 128-bit) encryption modes.
