Definition
The standard specification for wireless local
area networks, often called Wi-Fi.
A standard designed to enhance the security
of Wi-Fi networks by providing an
authentication framework.
The verification of the identity of a person or
process. For example, in a communication
system, authentication verifies that messages
really come from their stated source, similar
to a signature on a (paper) letter. Logically,
authentication precedes authorization even
though they might appear to occur
simultaneously.
The process of granting or denying someone
access to a network resource.
A telecommunication industry specification
that allows Bluetooth-enabled devices
(mobile phones, computers, and some
Pocket PCs) short-range connections and
provides fast, reliable, wireless
communication.
A conversion process that is used for
protecting data.
Public or private areas where there is a
wireless access point available. This wireless
connection could be located, for example, at
a library or cyber cafe.
