Match the appropriate words to complete the paragraph. Wireless networks have no clear boundaries, therefore securing communications requires strong (a), (b), and (c) protocols. One of the most common wireless security threats is the presence of (d) access points (APs). Rogue points can be set up for the benign purpose of free wireless access or for malicious purposes, such as gaining access to confidential data. Using an (e) wireless hotspot, like so many found in public settings, leaves you vulnerable to become the victim of (f).

a. Encryption.

b. Authentication.

c. Strong.

d. Rogue.

e. Insecure.

f. Hacking.

Explanation:

In Computer technology, authentication can be defined as the process of verifying the identity of an individual or electronic device. Authentication work based on the principle (framework) of matching an incoming request from a user or electronic device to a set of uniquely defined credentials.

Basically, authentication ensures a user is truly who he or she claims to be, as well as confirm that an electronic device is valid through the process of verification.

Encryption is a form of cryptography and typically involves the process of converting or encoding informations in plaintext into a code, known as a ciphertext. Once, an information or data has been encrypted it can only be accessed and deciphered by an authorized user.

Some examples of encryption algorithms are 3DES, AES, RC4, RC5, and RSA.

Wireless networks have no clear boundaries, therefore securing communications requires strong encryption, authentication, and strong protocols. One of the most common wireless security threats is the presence of rogue access points (APs). Rogue points can be set up for the benign purpose of free wireless access or for malicious purposes, such as gaining access to confidential data. Using an insecure wireless hotspot, like so many found in public settings, leaves you vulnerable to become the victim of hacking.

hello there!

you can not delete questions only moderators can. sorry about that
