    Agenda:
    1. What Is Wi-Fi and how we get it
    2. Types of wireless security protocols
    3. Wireless security threats and risks
    4. Ways to protect a Wi-Fi network
    5. Code for AES encryption/decryption
    6. Conclusion
    Wi-Fi definition
    Wi-Fi transmits data using microwaves, which are high-energy radio waves.
    Encode information into radio waves, which are received and decoded.
    Radio waves emanate outwards from the antenna and are received by your wireless router. That
    wireless router then converts the radio waves back into data and then sends that data to the
    Internet using a physical connection.
    Types of wireless security protocols
    WEP - (Wired Equivalent Privacy). It was the standard method of providing wireless network
    security. WEP was hard to configure, and it used only basic (64-/128-bit) encryption. (WEP is no
    longer considered secure and should be replaced by a newer protocol such as WPA2.

    WPA- (Wi-Fi Protected Access) delivers stronger (128-/256-bit) encryption than WEP by using a
    security protocol known as Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). Along with WPA2, WPA is the
    most common protocol in use today. But unlike WPA2, it is compatible with older software.
    Types of wireless security protocols
    WPA2 - a later version of WPA, was developed in 2004. It's easier to configure
    and provides even greater network security than WPA by using a security
    protocol known as the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).
    WPA3 - A new generation of WPA, known as WPA3, is designed to deliver
    simpler configuration and even stronger (192-/256-/384-bit) encryption and
    security than any of its predecessors. It is also meant to work across the latest
    Wi-Fi 6 networks.
    Wireless security threats and risks
    IP spoofing - Attackers penetrate wireless networks by
    impersonating trusted IP addresses. This may allow
    attackers to plant malware, initiate distributed-denial-
    of-service (DDoS) attacks, or carry out other nefarious
    acts.
    DNS-cache poisoning - hacking a network and
    diverting network traffic to an attacker's computer or
    server or to another out-of-network device.
    Man in the middle – attacker positions himself in a
    conversation between a user and an application—
    either to eavesdrop or to impersonate one of the
    parties, making it appear as if a normal exchange of
    information is underway.
      Ways to protect a Wi-Fi network
    Encryption - Encryption in digital communications encodes data and then
    decodes it only for authorized recipients.
    Virtual private networks (VPNs) - They allow users to create secure, identity-
    protected tunnels between unprotected Wi-Fi networks and the internet.
    Media Access Control (MAC) addresses
    Security software - There are many types of consumer and enterprise software
    that also can provide Wi-Fi security. Some Wi-Fi protection software is bundled
    with related products, such as antivirus software.
    Code for AES encryption and
    decryption
    It uses a substitution-permutation, or SP network,
    with multiple rounds to produce ciphertext. The
    number of rounds depends on the key size being used.
    A 128-bit key size dictates ten rounds, a 192-bit key
    size dictates 12 rounds, and a 256-bit key size has 14
    rounds.
    Each of these rounds requires a round key, but since
    only one key is inputted into the algorithm, this key
    needs to be expanded to get keys for each round,
    including round 0.
    Round 1 and 2
    Substitution of the bytes -In the first step, the bytes of the block text are substituted based on
    rules dictated by predefined S-boxes (short for substitution boxes)
    Shifting the rows - Next comes the permutation step. In this step, all rows except the first are
    shifted by one
    Round 3 and 4
    Mixing the columns - In the third step, the Hill cipher is used to jumble up the message more by
    mixing the block’s columns.
    Adding the round key -In the final step, the message is XORed with the respective round
    Conclusion
    Wi-Fi security is the protection of devices and networks connected in a wireless environment.
    Wireless Security Protocols such as (WEP) and (WPA) are used to ensure wireless security.
    Wireless networks may be threatened by many attacks like IP spoofing, Man in the Middle, Dns
    cache poisoning etc.
    We can protect our wireless network using methods like encryption, VPN, Security software and
    MAC addresses in network devices.
    The code or simulation describes a design of effective security for data communication by
    implementing the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) algorithm for encryption and decryption.
