What else can I help you with?
Is the wep key a wan key?
Technically no. WEP refers to a form of encryption used in wireless networks that is usually set with a password. For all intents and purposes, the encryption key used for the wireless network is the password for that network. A WAN is a wide area network that encompasses several smaller Local Area Networks onto one network.
What kind of security measures are commonly used to protect home wireless networks?
To use protected by key wireless networks (WPA, WPA2-PSK AES), MAC filters, deny access to ports which are not used.
Is it safe to contact bank accounts using personal laptop through hotel wireless networks?
No. Definitely not. The encryption used to send data from your laptop to the hotels router is unbelivebly weak.
What advantage does a VPN have over WPA encryption when a notebook computer is using a wireless connection to connect to the internet and on to a private corporate network?
VPN encryption applies from the user's PC all the way to the host computer regardless of the type of network used. The encryption methods used by VPN are stronger than WEP and WPA and are the preferred method when transmitting sensitive data ocer a wireless connection.
What is the WEP and where do you find it?
WEP means Wireless Encryption Protocol Its used in wireless communication. eg: in wi-fi connections
Does infrared technology fall under the category of wireless networks?
Infrared can't be used as a technology for wireless networks because of its slow speed and limited functionality. Infrared is used for wireless communication at very small level.
In most cases the frequencies used by wireless networks are in what frequency band?
The common wireless frequency is 2.4 Ghz. Some wireless networks may use the 5 Ghz frequency range.
Is an iPad an input?
No, an iPad is a computing device in itself. It has input methods, such as the touch screen and BlueTooth, and can be used to control other computers and devices through apps and wireless networks.
Is there a WEP that can get in any persons computer?
WEP (also known as Wired Equivalent Privacy, or some times incorrectly as Wireless Encryption Protocol) is a very weak method of encryption used in the past on wireless devices. Modern methods enable near instantaneous defeat of this protocol and can sniff packets off the air in no time. So WEP is hardly any security at all.
Does wireless networks must meet all the same security requirements of a wired LAN?
It's supposed to, but the problem with wireless networks that you can catch packets even if it was not send for you. Such problem was eliminated for wired networks a while ago, the solution is used in all routers. For wireless networks such solution cannot work in principle.
What encryption method is used by WPA for wireless networks?
Transport Layer Security (TLS) and its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), both of which are frequently referred to as 'SSL', are cryptographic protocols that provide communications security over a computer network. TLS supports many different methods for exchanging keys, encrypting data. If you want a free ssl certificate for your website visit here: ssl.comodo.com/free-ssl-certificate.php
What is a wireless bridge used for?
A wireless bridge is a hardware unit used to put two or more wireless networks together. They work in pairs, but there may be numerous bridges to get the full effect.
