What statement is true regarding the nonces (ANonce and SNonce) used in the IEEE 802.11 4 Way Handshake?

A.

Both nonces are used by the Supplicant and Authenticator in the derivation of a single PTK.

B.

The Supplicant uses the SNonce to derive its unique PTK and the Authenticator uses the ANonce to derive its unique PTK, but the nonces are not shared.

C.

Nonces are sent in EAPoL frames to indicate to the receiver that the sending station has installed and validated the encryption keys.

D.

The nonces are created by combining the MAC addresses of the Supplicant, Authenticator, and Authentication Server into a mixing algorithm.

Given: ABC Company has 20 employees and only needs one access point to cover their entire facility. Ten of ABC Company’s employees have laptops with radio cards capable of only WPA security. The other ten employees have laptops with radio cards capable of WPA2 security. The network administrator wishes to secure all wireless communications (broadcast and unicast) for each laptop with its strongest supported security mechanism, but does not wish to implement a RADIUS/AAA server due to complexity.

What security implementation will allow the network administrator to achieve this goal?

A.

Implement an SSID with WPA2-Personal that allows both AES-CCMP and TKIP clients to connect.

B.

Implement an SSID with WPA-Personal that allows both AES-CCMP and TKIP clients to connect.

C.

Implement two separate SSIDs on the AP—one for WPA-Personal using TKIP and one for WPA2-Personal using AES-CCMP.

D.

Implement an SSID with WPA2-Personal that sends all broadcast traffic using AES-CCMP and unicast traffic using either TKIP or AES-CCMP.

When using a tunneled EAP type, such as PEAP, what component is protected inside the TLS tunnel so that it is not sent in clear text across the wireless medium?

A.

X.509 certificates

B.

User credentials

C.

Server credentials

D.

RADIUS shared secret

Given: You must implement 7 APs for a branch office location in your organization. All APs will be autonomous and provide the same two SSIDs (CORP1879 and Guest).

Because each AP is managed directly through a web-based interface, what must be changed on every AP before enabling the WLANs to ensure proper staging procedures are followed?

A.

Fragmentation threshold

B.

Administrative password

C.

Output power

D.

Cell radius

In the basic 4-way handshake used in secure 802.11 networks, what is the purpose of the ANonce and SNonce? (Choose 2)

A.

They are used to pad Message 1 and Message 2 so each frame contains the same number of bytes.

B.

The IEEE 802.11 standard requires that all encrypted frames contain a nonce to serve as a Message Integrity Check (MIC).

C.

They are added together and used as the GMK, from which the GTK is derived.

D.

They are input values used in the derivation of the Pairwise Transient Key.

E.

They allow the participating STAs to create dynamic keys while avoiding sending unicast encryption keys across the wireless medium.

What TKIP feature was introduced to counter the weak integrity check algorithm used in WEP?

A.

32-bit ICV (CRC-32)

B.

Sequence counters

C.

RC5 stream cipher

D.

Michael

E.

Block cipher support

What is one advantage of using EAP-TTLS instead of EAP-TLS as an authentication mechanism in an 802.11 WLAN?

A.

EAP-TTLS sends encrypted supplicant credentials to the authentication server, but EAP-TLS uses unencrypted user credentials.

B.

EAP-TTLS supports client certificates, but EAP-TLS does not.

C.

EAP-TTLS does not require an authentication server, but EAP-TLS does.

D.

EAP-TTLS does not require the use of a certificate for each STA as authentication credentials, but EAP-TLS does.

What elements should be addressed by a WLAN security policy? (Choose 2)

A.

Enabling encryption to prevent MAC addresses from being sent in clear text

B.

How to prevent non-IT employees from learning about and reading the user security policy

C.

End-user training for password selection and acceptable network use

D.

The exact passwords to be used for administration interfaces on infrastructure devices

E.

Social engineering recognition and mitigation techniques

As the primary security engineer for a large corporate network, you have been asked to author a new security policy for the wireless network. While most client devices support 802.1X authentication, some legacy devices still only support passphrase/PSK-based security methods.

When writing the 802.11 security policy, what password-related items should be addressed?

A.

MSCHAPv2 passwords used with EAP/PEAPv0 should be stronger than typical WPA2-PSK passphrases.

B.

Password complexity should be maximized so that weak WEP IV attacks are prevented.

C.

Static passwords should be changed on a regular basis to minimize the vulnerabilities of a PSK-based authentication.

D.

Certificates should always be recommended instead of passwords for 802.11 client authentication.

E.

EAP-TLS must be implemented in such scenarios.

As a part of a large organization’s security policy, how should a wireless security professional address the problem of rogue access points?

A.

Use a WPA2-Enterprise compliant security solution with strong mutual authentication and encryption for network access of corporate devices.

B.

Hide the SSID of all legitimate APs on the network so that intruders cannot copy this parameter on rogue APs.

C.

Conduct thorough manual facility scans with spectrum analyzers to detect rogue AP RF signatures.

D.

A trained employee should install and configure a WIPS for rogue detection and response measures.

E.

Enable port security on Ethernet switch ports with a maximum of only 3 MAC addresses on each port.
