My Notes from chapter 13 of the CWNA study guide 802.11 security basics Data privacy and integrity All data transmissions travel in the open air. Protecting data privacy in a wired network is much easier because physical access to the wired medium is more restricted, whereas access to wireless transmissions is available to anyone in …

My Notes from chapter 9 of the CWNA study guide Packets, frames, and bits Same as OSI Model data traverses through each layer to be transmitted to the receiver and then back up the layers Data-Link layer Layer 2 of the OSI Model Divided into two sublayers: MAC Service Data Unit (MSDU) When the Network …
My Notes from chapter 8 of the CWNA study guide Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) vs. Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) Set of rules to provide controlled and efficient access to the network medium. CSMA/CD is well known and is used by Ethernet networks CSMA/CA is not as well …
My Notes from chapter 7 of the CWNA study guide Wireless networking topologies Wireless wide area network (WWAN) Provides RF coverage over a vast geographical area Typically use cellular telephone technologies or proprietary licensed wireless bridging technologies Some examples of these cellular technologies are general packet radio service (GPRS), code division multiple access (CDMA), time …
