As a consequence, it is less and less clear if Wi-Fi can be secured or not, and if yes, how.This workshop will give you a very clear picture of wireless security actual state, comprehensively describing Wi-Fi security mechanisms, as well as limitations, known attacks impacts and mitigation, challenging some claims that have been made. At the end, you will have a clear picture on the efficiency of the available Wi-Fi security feature and the best way to deploy them within your environment.Wi-Fi security, WEP, WPA, WPA2, 802.11i, PSK, 802.1x, EAP, TKIP, CCMP, WEP cracking, PSK brute-forcing, TKIP flaw
