		<description><![CDATA[In earlier posts I discussed what&#8217;s wrong with WPA and why its always a bad idea to base a standard around a single method of encryption, even AES. Bruce Schneier posted to his blog today regarding a new attack against AES. In short, the paper he references identifies how to dramatically reduce the number of [...]]]></description>

Let&#8217;s back up a bit and list why we secure wireless networks: Permitting uncontrolled access can lead to compromise Authentication is required to verify the person connecting in Data can be sniffed so encryption is needed for data privacy Pretty [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many of us who leverage wireless in an enterprise environment dutifully deploy wireless encryption (WEP or WPA) as well. This is not trivial, as it requires a continual commitment of time and resources in order to maintain the system&#8217;s integrity. But is this expenditure really necessary, or is there a more effective solution available that [...]]]></description>

In this third and final part I&#8217;ll get into what can go wrong. What can go wrong if I trust the rabbit hole? For the sake of argument let&#8217;s assume we “feel” the [...]]]></description>

We made it as far as the mandatory handshake requirements with SSL and TLS. In this post I&#8217;ll get into the optional features which is the start of where things can go [...]]]></description>
