Lab 8: Wireless Security Protocol

© Fall 2024 - Eng. Mohamed Mostafa


Importance of Wireless Security
• Protects sensitive data from
unauthorized access.
• Prevents network breaches and
cyberattacks.
• Ensures confidentiality, integrity, and
availability of communications.

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)

• Introduced: 1997 as part of IEEE 802.11 standard.


• Encryption Algorithm: RC4 (40-bit or 104-bit keys).
• Key Features: Basic encryption, static keys.
• Vulnerabilities:
• Weak encryption prone to attacks.
• Susceptible to replay attacks and key recovery.
• Matrix Representation:
• Size: 4x4
• Layers: 1
• Key Size: 8 bits

WPA1 (Wi-Fi Protected Access)

• Introduced: 2003 as a replacement for WEP.


• Key Features:
• Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP).
• Improved encryption using dynamic keys.
• Limitations:
• Relied on RC4, which became outdated.
• Vulnerable to TKIP-related attacks.
• Matrix Representation:
• Size: 16x16
• Layers: 1
• Key Size: 16 bits

WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access II)
• Introduced: 2004, mandatory in 2006.
• Encryption Algorithm: AES (Advanced Encryption Standard).
• Key Features:
• Robust Security Network (RSN) framework.
• Counter Mode with Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol
(CCMP).
• Improved integrity and confidentiality.
• Vulnerabilities:
• KRACK (Key Reinstallation Attack).
• Matrix Representation:
• Size: 16x16
• Layers: 16
• Key Size: 128 bits

WPA3 (Wi-Fi Protected Access III)
• Introduced: 2018 as the latest standard.
• Key Features:
• Enhanced security for open networks.
• 192-bit encryption for enterprise mode.
• Forward secrecy and resistance to offline dictionary attacks.
• New Technologies:
• Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE).
• Challenges:
• Compatibility with older devices.
• Matrix Representation:
• Size: 256x256
• Layers: 256
• Key Size: 256 bits
