Post-conference workshop B
Seperately bookable conference workshop
Thursday, 8 September 2005 1.30pm – 5.00pm
Led by;
Ray Hunt, Associate Professor, University of Canterbury
Topic: Security in wireless and mobile networks
In recent times we have seen the largest Distributed Denial of Service attacks, the largest virus attacks and some of the most dramatic web server attacks in the entire history of the computer-communications industry. Wireless and mobile data networks are equally vulnerable to these attacks. In many situations, the security architectures designed for fixed networks can be adapted for use in wireless and mobile networks. However there are some important differences to be considered
The workshop commences by examining local and wide area lower layer wireless and mobile infrastructure including the types of threats that they face. It then proceeds to examine the protocols and architecture of the security infrastructure.
Key workshop topics will include:
- Wireless LANs: Architecture, Standards, (Inter)operability, Developments
- Cryptographic Tools for Wireless Network Security
- Security Architectures and Protocols in Wireless LANs
- Security Architectures and Protocols in 3G Mobile Networks
- Live Demonstration of Wireless LAN Attacks (Sniffing, Spoofing and Cracking)
Course times and documentation
Registration starts at 1:30am. The course will commence at 2:00am and finish at 5:00pm. Afternoon tea will be provided. Participants will receive comprehensive documentation including all presentation material.
