Assessment - Design and implementation of secure enterprise wireless network
Purpose of the assessment -
The purpose of this assignment is to design and implement a secure enterprise wireless network, considering the ethical implications. The assignment covers the following Unit Learning Outcomes:
d. Apply wireless network security techniques in the context of ethical implications;
e. Design and implement secure enterprise wireless networks.
Assignment Description
You are hired to secure a wireless enterprise network. Your client wishes to build a secure wireless network where the visitors can access the Internet whilst their internal data is protected from the visitors or hackers. You are to provide a full report and demonstrate a prototype of network in a simulated platform (i.e. packet tracer or GNS3).
Secure enterprise wireless local area networks can provide mobility and connectivity where wired connections are not practical. Enterprise wireless LAN deployments have evolved from guest access in conference rooms, to limited hot zones of connectivity within the enterprise to full coverage throughout the organization. Unfortunately, many of these deployments are still insecure, leaving opportunities for the malicious hackers to try and access confidential enterprise information.
Recent advances in WPA2-Enterprise deployment include: installing a remote authentication dial-in user service RADIUS server, configuring access points with the encryption and RADIUS server information, configuring your operating system with the encryption and IEEE 802.1x settings, and then connecting to your secure wireless enterprise.
The standard for passing EAP over a network is IEEE 802.1x. In this authentication framework, the user who wishes to be authenticated is the supplicant. The RADIUS server doing the authentication is the authentication server, and the device at the AP, such as a laptop or smartphone, is the authenticator.
In your report, you are to design and implement a secure enterprise wireless network, considering the ethical implications. You are required to complete the following tasks and submit a report on Moodle.
1. Discuss the ethical implications in the vulnerabilities of wireless network technologies.
2. Design a secure enterprise wireless network using the network simulator of your choice.
*3. Analysis of a secure enterprise wireless network using WPA2 and the RADIUS server, considering the following CIAAA elements:
a. Confidentiality
b. Integrity
c. Availability
d. Authentication
e. Authorization
4. Implementation of a secure enterprise wireless network using WPA2 and the RADIUS server.
5. Test and prove a successful of connectivity between clients using AP. You need to take a snapshot for the different phases of authentication, association, de-association, and pinging each other's terminals on the same network
6. Demonstration of your network prototype in Week 11 lab.
The tutor will assign the groups, maximum number of students in a group is 3 and the students in each group should be from the same lab.
Note: Need to do only task 3.
