In this paper, David LUND (PSCE) addresses the issue of cybersecurity in wireless communications.
In an increasingly interconnected world, the benefits of wireless communications are numerous. Yet, because the information conveyed may be valuable, wireless communications have become attractive to attackers, and vulnerable when carried over poorly implemented or configured wireless systems.
Coupled with the availability of low-cost devices for interception, there is a distinct need to understand how to protect over-the-air trans- missions and, more generally, how we use our wireless devices. This paper provides an introduction of the basic properties of wireless communication and how different systems protect both the resilience and confidentiality of information carried over the air. The document is supported by different case studies.
