Deploying secure 802.11 wireless networks with Microsoft Windows

Get in-depth technical guidance for deploying a security-enhanced wireless network tailored for corporate, public, or small business environments, directly from the Microsoft Windows Networking and Communications team. This essential reference covers the latest IEEE 802.11 technologies for both public and private wireless LANs, including the Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) standard. You will learn to design and deploy an authentication infrastructure, covering client configuration, Internet Authentication Service (IAS) servers, Active Directory users and groups, certificate services, and wireless access points, utilizing best practices and real-world troubleshooting tactics from Microsoft's extensive wireless LAN deployment. Gain technical insights to configure wireless client support for Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows 2000. Build the authentication infrastructure including IAS RADIUS servers and proxies, and a public key infrastructure (PKI). Determine optimal wireless access point placement and configure a Windows PKI to issue authentication certificates. Use EAP-TLS or PEAP-MS-CHAP v2 protocols to enhance wireless intranet security. Design wireless intranets for business partners or large-scale deployment, and mitigate network attacks using WPA's Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). Troubleshoot Windows wireless clients, access points, and the authentication infrastructure effectively. For updates on wireless
