Why is low speed and short distance good in the Internet of Things?

"Slow and close" communication extends battery life.

What three operational security threats must PSK users consider?

(1) Change the pre-shared key when a person leaves a company (2) Create a guest account to provide temporary access to outsiders as appropriate. (3) Create a strong pass-phrase

Distinguish between evil twin access points and rogue access points.

(1) Evil twin access points are typically laptops with software to impersonate a real access point. (2) A rogue access point is an unauthorized access point set up within a firm which typically has poor or no security

Compare the relative benefits of the two types of Classic Bluetooth.

(1) Extended Data Rate (EDR) @ 3Mbps provides good performance at modest power (2) High Speed (HS) @ 24Mbps provides brief high-speed transfers at modest power ( good form occasional file transfers )

Distinguish between link security and end-to-end security.

(1) Link security on the link between the wireless client and the wireless access point. (2) End-to-end security all the way between the wireless client and the server on the wired LAN (or a server on the Internet).

How does near field communication differ from normal radio communication?

(1) Radio communication - transmits out by producing electromagnetic waves that propagate away ( and do not come back ) (2) Near Field Communication - pulses waves outward a very short distance, then they are reabsorbed back into the antenna ( Waves Surges Out and then Back - in radio they do not surge back )

How are VPNs able to defeat evil twin attacks? Explain in detail.

(1) the client and server encrypt all communications within a pre-shared VPN key that is never transmitted ( it is pre-shared). (2) When the client transmits it first encrypts its message with the VPN key. (3) The evil twin intercepts the message, but since it never gets the the pre-shared VPN key, it cannot decrypt the message, so it cannot read it.

high speed bluetooth

-2 to 3 Mbps -capable to switch on the high speed connection for downloading any webpage etc. -second ratio in high speed bluetooth has a speed of about 24 Mbps -uses radio transmission technology to cover greater distance -runs on one-to-one mode, cannot use access points

Classic bluetooth

-speeds up to 2 or 3 Mbps -satisfactory speed for wireless mice and other devices -satisfactory speed for voice communication -covers distance of about 10 meters -batteries run a long time

How does centralized management provide for the detection of rogue access points?

1) By sending SNMP traps when it detects the signal of a nearby unauthorized access point. (2) By asking an access point for the EUI-48 addresses of nearby access points. It can see one if these is not authorized.

Describe the process by which access point locations are determined.

1) Determine how far signals should travel to find the radius of service around each access point. (2) Use architecture drawings to lay out 10 meter circles that cover all points in the building. (3) Make adjustments for thick walls, filing cabinets, or other obstructions

Yes

Can a Bluetooth master have multiple slaves?

Yes, a master can have up to seven slaves simultaneously.
