Wireless Technology and Devices
Infrare Infrared (IR) is relatively low energy and cannot penetrate through walls or other obstacles It is commonly used to connect and move data between devices such as Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) and PCs A specialized communication port known as an Infrared Direct Access (IrDA) port uses IR to exchange information between devices R only allows a one-to-one type of connection. It is generally used for short-range, line-of-sight, communications IR is also used for remote control devices, wireless mice, and wireless keyboards

Security Considerations on A Wireless LAN

Encryption on a WLAN Wired Equivalency Protocol (WEP)

WEP uses pre-configured keys to encrypt and decrypt data A WEP key is entered as a string of numbers and letters and is generally 64 bits or 128 bits long.

Security Considerations on A Wireless LAN

Summary

Wireless technologies use electromagnetic radiation in the form of radio signals to carry information between devices. Ease and convenience of connecting devices wirelessly creates security concerns that need to be addressed. Before installing wireless devices, an installation plan should be created which includes strategies for layout and security.
