WLAN Security Challenges The latest WLAN specification, 802.1x, provides a roadmap for implementing improved WLAN security. Not surprisingly, an authentication server - long a cornerstone of remote access security - plays a pivotal role in securing an 802.1x WLAN. And, new 802.1 x security methods provide strong authentication and data privacy techniques to fully secure WLAN access.

Achieving Wireless Security with Interoperability Though the concept of an ultra-high level of wireless networking security and information assurance is somewhat opposed to the concept of open interoperability with a wide spectrum of 3rd party vendors’ wireless equipment, this paper is intended to show that 3eTI FIPS 140-2 validated and Common Criteria certified wireless equipment are interoperable with multiple vendors’ IEEE 802.11-compliant equipment, and that 3eTI solutions are non-proprietary. 3eTI has blazed the trail in marrying the IEEE 802.11i commercial standard for enhanced wireless security with FIPS 140-2 validation requirements per the NIST Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP).

Wireless Data Connectivity Guidelines This document sets forth the guidelines for using wireless technologies for data connectivity and identifies responsibilities for the deployment of wireless connectivity services and the administration of the wireless radio spectrum. These guidelines describe how wireless technologies are to be implemented, administered and supported at the University of Arizona campus. It supplements the guidelines in the CCIT Computer and Network Usage Policy by adding specific content addressing wireless data connectivity and the resolution of interference issues that might arise during use of specific frequencies. The guideline couples the desire for campus constituencies to deploy wireless technologies with a central administrative desire to encourage all constituents to deploy such systems with an acceptable level of service quality and security.

Mobile IPv6 The purpose of the paper is to familiarize you with the Mobile IPv6 standard, its use, and associated security concerns. The rapid growth in the number of wireless and handheld devices is putting a strain on the current IP protocol, version 4, which is not able to keep pace with the increasing demands brought about by the evolving Internet. This paper first briefly describes the need for a new Internet Protocol and the new version of IP, version 6, and its advantages. Then, mobility within IP networks will be explained and how the current IPv4 protocol was extended to include mobility, followed by how the new IPv6 protocol integrates mobility and its advantages. The status of IPv6 and Mobile IPv6 will be discussed, followed by a study of a popular new security mechanism for Mobile IPv6.

The Dilemma of PDA Security: An Overview Personal Digital Assistants ("PDAs") are everywhere these days. There are many different manufacturers and styles of PDAs on the market. Typically they are some type of small, hand-held device that combines computing functions with telephone/fax and networking features. Even cellular phone companies have gotten into the act by combining hand-held computer technology with their existing products, which is one of the major reasons for the meteoric rise in the use of cellular phones. In fact, PDA technology is becoming so prevalent that industry analysts predict that by 2003, there will be more than one billion "smart devices" connected wirelessly, with more than half of that figure being web-enabled.
