Wireless Security Technical Conference Presentations

Deregulation, mergers, competition, and increased customer demand for services, force organizations to demand more from information systems. Wireless LANs have evolved over the past 5 years, in part to meet the needs and interest of the corporate marketplace, and partly in response to awareness of the need for wireless security. Because of the need for security in today’s world, the subject of “wireless” security almost seems an oxymoron. Issues of security in wireless Ethernet channels have not propagated down into the realm of wireless sensor networks.

While many discussions concerning security, safety, and dependability of wireless industrial system focus on “malicious intent” of an individual, this conference will also quantify dangers to wireless systems originating from other ISM band devices creating interference situations. How to secure a wireless network from Replay Attacks and Forgery with Integrity Check, Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) implementation of RC4 shows great promise.

These presentations were given at ISA Wireless Security Technical Conference 10 February, 2004 at ISA Headquarters in RTP will help you understand how to secure and manage information flow and see how Wireless Technologies are being used on the manufacturing shop floor.
