What is Diffie-Hellman encryption?

August 28th, 2009

The Diffie-Hellman encryption was developed by Diffie and Hellman in 1976 and published in the paper named “New Directions in Cryptography.” It is a key agreement protocol (also called exponential key agreement) that allows two users to exchange a secret key over an insecure medium (such as the Internet) without any prior secrets. The original protocol had two system parameters, p and g. They are both public and may be used by all the users in a system. The Diffie-Hellman key exchange was vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle attack, as Diffie-Hellman key exchange does not authenticate the participants.

What is ad hoc network?

August 27th, 2009

Ad hoc is a basic topology of a wireless network. An ad hoc network consists of two or more wireless devices that communicate directly with each other. The wireless local area network (WLAN) network interface adapters in the wireless devices generate omni directional signals within a limited range called basic service area (BSA). When two wireless devices come within the range of each other, they immediately form a two-node network and are able to communicate with each other.

What is WTLS?

August 19th, 2009

Wireless Transport Layer Security (WTLS) is a security layer of WAP, which is specifically designed for a wireless environment. It provides privacy, data integrity, and authentication for client-server communications over a wireless network. WTLS ensures that a client and server are authenticated so that wireless transactions remain secure and the connection is encrypted. WTLS is required because a wireless network does not provide end-to-end security.
