Wireless networks are insecure if you rely only on WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). Additional security measures are necessary to overcome WEP's limitations. Necessary requirements include ensuring confidentiality and enforcing access control. Windows XP incorporates support for 802.1X and EAP-TLS, an access-control and key exchange protocol combination that satisfies both requirements. By mandating mutual authentication of clients and servers and periodically generating new per-client WEP keys, the security of a wireless network approaches that of a wired network. This webcast will illustrate the problem, explain in detail how 802.1X and WEP work to improve security, and show how to deploy it in your network today. We will also explore the new Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) protocol and compare it to WEP, 802.1X, and EAP-TLS.
