As wireless technologies continued to evolve, however, several standards, which govern wireless technology, were developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The IEEE 802.11 Working Group (WG), for example, is responsible for specifying the family of standards for wireless LAN technology. The IEEE 802.11 WG’s main goals are to produce standards that encourage interoperability of products made by different vendors and to ensure that wireless LANs provide equivalent security as wired LANs. The following sections will limit its focus to the IEEE 802.11 family. It will then conclude with a brief overview of the 802.1X protocol, which is used to authenticate and authorize devices connecting to a network.

Although the IEEE 802.11a standard was introduced at the same time, it didn’t take on the same level of acceptance as 802.11b, even though it was capable of higher data rates. This is because 802.11a operated in the 5 GHz licensed band rather than the 2.4 GHz unlicensed band of 802.11b, which made it much more expensive. In addition, 802.11b supports data rates up to 11 Mbps, which is equivalent to traditional Ethernet. It’s important to also note that devices using 802.11b can experience interference with other devices operating in the 2.4 GHz band. For example: Bluetooth devices, cordless phones, microwave ovens, and even baby monitors can interfere with 802.11b signals, causing signal degradation and issues with
1.3 How do local area networks (LANs) differ from wide area networks (WANs) and backbone networks (BNs) Local area networks are limited within an organization Wide area networks extend over a large geographical distance and may be privately owned or rented Backbone network are the part of network infrastructure that feeds the connected networks 1.8 Describe the seven layers in the OSI network model and what they do. Application – this layer is specific to applications and provides services such as email, network software services and file transfers Presentation - In this layer, the data is formatted in a schema that network understands, and also manages data encryption and decryption Session – this layer establishes and controls the data communication between
I. Site “Springfield” Device and STP Configurations Site Details and Challenges (Summary) This section will implement device hostnames (to correlate with the xACME educational topology labels), provide a sample configuration for the MOTD and login banner, and provide configuration steps for applying device passwords (encrypted) on the console port and VTY. This section will also review what the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) does, its benefits, and provide a sample configuration for applying STP on the switches. Security methods that can be applied to the devices will be reviewed as well.
5. METHODOLOGY 5.1 Secure Multipath Routing Protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks Till date many routing protocols have been proposed for wireless sensor networks, but only few of them consider the problem of security [4] and most of them are developed without any security concern. So in this section we focus at selected multipath routing protocols in order to cope with the various attacks. For avoiding intruders attacks in HWSN various methods and algorithms are implemented out of that Professor Hamid Al-Hamadi and Professor Ing-Ray Chen:
Assessment 3 – Assignment 1 Student Name: John Matanisiga Student ID No: S11124727 1. The difference between these wireless encryption is that WEP is wired equivalent privacy, a default procedure for wired security networks, WPA is an upgrade from WEP, and it is a wireless protected access to networks, whereas WPA2 is modernized into a more secure Wi-Fi from WPA. 2. With Static addressing, a computer (or other device) is configured to always use the same IP address, whereas dynamic addressing, the IP address can change periodically and is managed by a centralized network service.
Primary application field of the Diff-MAC is wireless multimedia sensor networks which commonly carries QoS-constrained heterogeneous traffic. Equalizer-MAC (EQ-MAC) is designed to provide QoS support for cluster based single-hop sensor networks by service differentiation and uses a hybrid medium access scheme. The protocol is composed of two parts: Classifier- MAC (CMAC) and Channel Access MAC
Introduction The purpose of this report is to summarize what our team, the Fig Neutrons, did for the final project of ECE160. For the project we used an Arduino Sparkfun Kit to build a Simon says game with multiple game modes that would display several different game statistics on an LCD screen. The work the team has done includes Charlieplexing LEDs and including code for implementing the LEDs, writing code for a reverse Simon game. We also had to make the game play a different song than the one provided, and write code for the LCD to display wins, losses, game length, and the number of games played.
In the architecture, there are different modules like- Prime number generation and test by Rabin-Miller module, initial key-exchange and authentication, secure communication initiation, peer to peer authentication, hybrid encryption and hybrid decryption module and third party module. Another new aspect is challenger module will only allow one client to securely communicate with the server so communication architecture is peer to peer only but multiple clients can try to connect, so they will be connected to server but will not be authenticated to start messaging they have to wait for authenticated communication clearance one by one. Here the flow diagrams are described in two parts –First in Fig. 1 the generic communication model and in Fig.
Wifi WPS: It stands for “Wi-Fi Protected Setup” and provides simplified mechanisms to configure secure wireless
Understanding networking is a fundamental part of configuring complex environments on the internet. This has implications when trying to communicate between servers efficiently, developing secure network policies, and keeping your nodes organized. Every location or device on a network must be addressable. This is simply a term that means that it can be reached by referencing its designation under a predefined system of addresses. In the normal TCP/IP model of network layering, this is handled on a few different layers, but usually, when we refer to an address on a network, we are talking about an IP address.
For this particular task, I will be explaining what key components are necessary for client workstations to connect to a network and how to access network resources. I will be explaining the key features and functions of each of these components in relative detail. Network Devices: These are mechanisms used to connect computers and other electronic devices together so they can exchange and share files or special resources like printers or fax machines used in big organisations. LAN is the main type of network device used by the community.
THHS implements a program which emphasizes mastery in the humanities, math and science, with an emphasis on the classics, and requires its students to display the leadership skills, discipline and work ethic expected by the most demanding colleges and careers. All classes are honors, Advanced Placement or college-level, and advanced elective courses are available in all subjects. The school strives to implement their humanities-based approach to excellence through extensive literature and writing courses, advanced courses and electives in English, social studies, modern and classical languages, math, science, social science and science research, as well as a required Queens College humanities seminar. All students are required to study two years of classical Greek or Latin. Students take eight academic subjects each semester, one more than the usual high school program.
In “Networking Isn’t Always Easy. But It Is Crucial” Liz Rappaport discusses how networking in business plays a key role in career advancement, especially for women, but is often much harder for them to do than for their male colleagues. Rappaport describes why women need to make a habit of building strong business relationships, maintaining them with regular following-up through social events and networking functions. These business relationships serve several important functions: gaining a forum to seek professional advice based on experience, garnering solid industry connections that provide later career advancement opportunities, and maintaining an expansive, robust business environment that promotes personal growth and development.
The Tethering Bill! A New Move Towards Betterment! It has always been very common globally that the dogs are being tethered with huge chains, these chains are not only very painful and damaging in fact are very heavy for the dogs to handle as well. These chains not only make them feel pain physically but to some extent being a harsh form of restriction, they do end up affecting their mental ability as well. In this case, the Nashville government has been taking a right step which will turn out to be in a favor of these helpless creatures.
The proposed devices enable the plan given in this proposal and keep the entire network as simple as can be managed. The setup also is far cheaper than plans that would call for a switch or router in every room of the building for example. The devices presented are all powerful enough to support far more users and usage than what is presented in the requirements, thus allowing for network growth in the future. D.
