The GSM Standard (An overview of its security)
Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) is the most popular mobile phone system in the world, accounting for 70% of the world's digital mobile phones. According to a press release by the GSM Association in May 2001, there are more than half a billion GSM mobile phones in use in over 168 countries today.

Six quick wireless security tips
Implementing a wireless networking system can result in serious security problems if the system is not properly secured. If you deploy an insecure wireless network, it could result in a loss of service, or in the use of your network as a launching pad for attacks against other networks. To help you close these security holes, here are six quick wireless networking tips.

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).

Enterprise Solutions for Wireless LAN Security
The threat to network security from improperly secured WLANs is a real and present danger for today's enterprises. The good news for enterprise managers is that there is a range of strong, vendor neutral solutions available today that addresses the vulnerabilities inherent with the original 802.11 security implementation known as WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy).

Wi-Fi Protected Access
Although no security solution can claim to be bullet-proof, WPA represents a quantum leap forward in Wi-Fi security. WPA is built on standards-based interoperable security enhancements. It brings forward features of the forthcoming IEEE 802.11i standard that can be implemented immediately. WPA not only provides strong data encryption to correct WEP's weaknesses, it adds user authentication which was largely missing in WEP.

IEEE 802.11i Standard Improves Wireless LAN Security
802.11 is a group of specifications developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE) for wireless local area networks (WLANs). Today, 802.11 is rapidly proliferating all over the planet. Nonetheless, it still faces a number of technological challenges. A major one is range. The farthest a device can currently stray and still receive an adequate signal from an 802.11 access point is about 300 feet and that's if there are no major walls or other substantial physical obstructions.
