Comptia Security +: Wireless Security

Instructions:
  • Answer 37 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. WPA stands for...






2. An algorithm used to secure wireless computer networks that uses 48 bit IV - a secret key for each packet - and message integrity check (MIC) to detect altered packets






3. Uses the wireless session protocol (WSP) to move data between mobile wireless devices and application servers






4. A device that connects different wireless stations






5. A randomly generated value appended to data before encryption - sent by WEP in plain text - only 24 bits long - and reused on a regular basis






6. Detecting and using unsecured wi-fi by driving around with a laptop and antenna






7. Wireless standard with a data rate over 100Mpbs in the 2.4 - 5GHz band






8. An 802.11 wireless authentication method where client only communicate directly with the access point






9. A 1950s project that looked at ways to prevent interception of signals from systems (keyboard -CRT)






10. An 802.11 wireless authentication method where wireless devices connect to each other directly - negotiations are in clear text - is subject to sniffing






11. Wireless standard with a data rate up to 54 Mpbs in the 5GHz band






12. Sending unsolicited messages to a bluetooth device






13. Wireless standard with a data rate of 1 to 2 Mpbs in the 2.4GHz band






14. A wireless security protocol that implements requirements of 802.11i - uses AES with key sizes up to 256 bits






15. Wireless standard with a data rate up to 54Mpbs in the 2.4GHz band






16. SSID broadcasting - using default SSID and/or settings - access point mapping - rogue access points RF management - data emanation - and bluetooth security






17. WAP stands for...






18. A wireless security protocol that uses Initialization Vector (IV) and has many security concerns






19. Distinguishes different wireless networks from each other - used by an access point to route traffic






20. An enclosure made out of a specific type of copper wire to block radio waves






21. Wireless authentication method - also known as ad hoc - where the user must know the SSID or if using WEP the secret key






22. Security issues - if not using WTLS data is transmitted in clear and even usging WTLS data is clear while it is being converted from WSP to HTTP






23. This feature should be disabled to hide a wireless network for unauthorized users (security by obscurity)






24. Using Bluetooth to establish a serial connection and take control of the device






25. WTLS stands for...






26. An access point that has been installed without authorization usually for malicious intent






27. Wireless authentication method where both the SSID and encryption key are required - subject to man in the middle attacks






28. A wireless security protocol that uses the temporal key integrity protocol (TKIP)






29. An open - global specification designed to deliver information/services to mobile wireless devices (i.e. cell phones)






30. Replacement for WAP 1.x which corrects security issues






31. TKIP stands for...






32. Theft of data by connecting to bluetooth device






33. IEEE authentication method for wireless networks developed to address weakness of WEP - supports user authentication rather than MAC address






34. A ____ consists of a wireless client and access point






35. MIC stands for...






36. WEP stands for...






37. SSID stands for...
