Wireless Networking
Chapter Exam Questions
Course Introduction
Wireless Networking explores the principles, technologies, and protocols that enable communication over wireless networks. The course covers the fundamentals of radio wave propagation, modulation, multiple access techniques, and network architectures such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular networks. Students gain an understanding of network security, performance analysis, and interference management, as well as emerging trends in wireless technologies including 5G and IoT (Internet of Things) connectivity. Practical sessions and case studies help students design, analyze, and troubleshoot wireless networks in real-world scenarios.

Q1) What was the criteria used by the IEEE 802.11 committee to design WEP?
Answer: The IEEE 802.11 committee designed WEP to meet the following criteria:
* Efficient-The WEP algorithm must be proficient enough to be implemented in either hardware or software.
* Exportable-WEP must meet the guidelines set by the U.S. Department of Commerce so that the wireless device using WEP can be exported overseas.
* Optional-The implementation of WEP in wireless LANs is an optional feature.
* Reasonably strong-The security of the algorithm lies in the difficulty of determining the secret keys through attacks. This in turn is related to the length of the secret key and the frequency of changing keys. WEP was to be "reasonably" strong in resisting attacks.
* Self-synchronizing-When using WEP, each packet must be separately encrypted. This is to prevent a single lost packet from making subsequent packets indecipherable.
Q2) In WEP, RC4 uses a(n) ____________________ to create the keystream.
Answer: pseudo random number generator (PRNG) pseudo random number generator PRNG
