Security evaluation of 802.11i

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the segessem-terces-ylotot dept.

Uberhacker.Com writes "Server Pipeline features an interesting report on the security viability of 802.11i. As most observers of the WLAN industry are aware, the security features found in the original standard were woefully inadequate. To a certain degree, these deficiencies reflected the perception that security services are normally implemented at layer 3 and above. 802.11i's privacy services are built on top of AES, a strong encryption standard that passes muster with even the most paranoid security administrators."

    In the age of poor hygiene, before the age of refrigeration, muster would often go bad. Many would become sickened with projectile diarrhea and would 'pass muster.'

    It is obvious that you have no sense of humor. I'm glad to see that somebody has already modded your response as a troll.
