1 Implementing Security for Wireless Networks Presenter Name Job Title Company

2 Session Prerequisites Hands-on experience with Microsoft ® Windows ® server and client operating systems and Active Directory ® Basic understanding of wireless LAN technology Basic understanding of Microsoft ® Certificate Services Basic understanding of RADIUS and remote access protocols Level 300

3 Agenda Overview of Wireless Solutions Securing a Wireless Network Implementing a Wireless Network Using Password Authentication Configuring Wireless Network Infrastructure Components Configuring Wireless Network Clients

4 When designing security for a wireless network consider: Network authentication and authorization Network authentication and authorization Data protection Data protection Wireless access point configuration Wireless access point configuration Security management Security management Identifying the Need to Secure a Wireless Network

5 The abuse of Wireless Networks is growing!

6 Security Threats Include: Disclosure of confidential information Unauthorized access to data Impersonation of an authorized client Interruption of the wireless service Unauthorized access to the Internet Accidental threats Unsecured home wireless setups Unauthorized WLAN implementations Common Security Threats to Wireless Networks

7 Understanding Wireless Network Standards and Technologies StandardDescription 802.11 A base specification that defines the transmission concepts for Wireless LANs 802.11a Transmission speeds up to 54 megabits (Mbps) per second 802.11b 11 Mbps Good range but susceptible to radio signal interference 802.11g 54 Mbps Shorter ranges than 802.11b 802.1X - a standard that defines a port-based access control mechanism of authenticating access to a network and, as an option, for managing keys used to protect traffic

8 Wireless network implementation options include: Wi-Fi Protected Access with Pre-Shared Keys (WPA-PSK) Wireless network security using Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) and passwords Wireless network security using Certificate Services Wireless Network Implementation Options

9 Choose the Appropriate Wireless Network Solution Wireless Network Solution Typical Environment Additional Infrastructure Components Required? Certificates Used for Client Authentication Passwords Used for Client Authentication Typical Data Encryption Method Wi-Fi Protected Access with Pre-Shared Keys (WPA-PSK) Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) NoneNOYES Uses WPA encryption key to authenticate to network WPA Password-based wireless network security Small to medium organization Internet Authentication Services (IAS) Certificate required for the IAS server NO However, a certificate is issued to validate the IAS server YES WPA or Dynamic WEP Certificate-based wireless network security Medium to large organization Internet Authentication Services (IAS) Certificate Services YESNO Certificates used but may be modified to require passwords WPA or Dynamic WEP

10 Agenda Overview of Wireless Solutions Securing a Wireless Network Implementing a Wireless Network Using Password Authentication Configuring Wireless Network Infrastructure Components Configuring Wireless Network Clients

11 To effectively secure a wireless network consider: Authentication of the person or device connecting to the wireless network Authorization of the person or device to use the WLAN Protection of the data transmitted over the WLAN Understanding Elements of WLAN Security Audit WLAN Access

12 Providing Effective Authentication and Authorization StandardDescription Extensible Authentication Protocol-Transport Layer Security (EAP-TLS) Uses public key certificates to authenticate clients Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol- Microsoft-Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol v2 (PEAP-MS-CHAP v2) A two-stage authentication method using a combination of TLS and MS- CHAP v2 for password authentication Tunneled Transport Layer Security (TTLS) A two-stage authentication method similar to PEAP Microsoft does not support this method

13 Wireless data encryption standards in use today include: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) Dynamic WEP, combined with 802.1X authentication, provides adequate data encryption and integrity Compatible with most hardware and software devices (How is this a “wired equivalent”?! Trust me: WEP sucks) http://www.isaac.cs.berkeley.edu/isaac/wep-faq.html Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) Changes the encryption key with each packet Changes the encryption key with each packet Uses a longer initialization vector Uses a longer initialization vector Adds a signed message integrity check value Adds a signed message integrity check value Incorporates an encrypted frame counter Incorporates an encrypted frame counter (WPA is only if you are serious about security) Protecting WLAN Data Transmissions

14 Alternatives used to protect WLAN traffic include the use of: Virtual Private Network (VPN) Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) Alternative Approaches to Encrypt WLAN Traffic

15 System Requirements for Implementing 802.1X ComponentsRequirements Client devices Windows XP and Pocket PC 2003 provide built-in support Microsoft provides an 802.1X client for Windows 2000 operating systems RADIUS/IAS and certificate servers Windows Server 2003 Certificate Services and Windows Server 2003 Internet Authentication Service (IAS) are supported Wireless access points At a minimum, should support 802.1X authentication and 128-bit WEP for data encryption

16 Require data protection for all wireless communications Require 802.1X authentication to help prevent spoofing, wardrivers, and accidental threats to your network Use software scanning tools to locate and shut down rogue access points on your corporate network Guidelines for Securing Wireless Networks

17 Agenda Overview of Wireless Solutions Securing a Wireless Network Implementing a Wireless Network Using Password Authentication Configuring Wireless Network Infrastructure Components Configuring Wireless Network Clients

18 Components Required to Implement PEAP-MS-CHAP v2 ComponentsExplanation Wireless Client Requires a WLAN adapter that supports 802.1X and dynamic WEP or WPA encryption User and computers accounts are created in the domain Wireless Access Point Must support 802.1X and dynamic WEP or WPA encryption The wireless access point and RADIUS server have a shared secret to enable them to securely identify each other RADIUS/IAS Server Uses Active Directory to verify the credentials of WLAN clients Makes authorization decisions based upon an access policy May also collect accounting and audit information Certificate installed to provide server authentication

19 Security Requirements ScalabilityAvailability Platform Support Extensibility Standards Conformance Design Criteria for PEAP-MS-CHAP v2 Solution
