DS3Circuit 0 Posted March 31, 2003 Microsoft Releases New Standards-Based Wireless Solution To Enhance Security for Windows XP Customers. http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2003/mar03/03-31WiFiProtectedAccessPR.asp Quote: Wi-Fi Protected Access increases security on two fronts: data encryption and user authentication. To improve data encryption, Wi-Fi Protected Access resolves existing cryptographic weaknesses and introduces a method to generate and distribute encryption keys automatically. Each bit of data is now encrypted with a unique encryption key, greatly improving security. The solution also introduces an integrity check on the data so an attacker cannot modify packets of information being communicated. And to improve enterprise-level user authentication, Wi-Fi Protected Access authenticates every user on the network while keeping those users from joining rogue networks. HA, looks like a blend of 802.1x and VPN access .... this would have been more usefull about 8 months before we distributed and implemented our cisco aironets with 802.1x and PTPP access. Questions?
