Captive Portal AP | An infrastructure that is used on a public access WLANs to provide a higher degree of security |
Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol | A weak authentication protocol that has been replaced by the extensible authentication protocol |
Counter Mode with Cipher Block Chaining message Authentication Code Protocol | The encryption protocol used for WPA2 that specifies the use of a general purpose cipher mode algorithm providing data privacy with aes |
Evil Twin | An AP set up by an attacker to mimic an authorized AP and capture transmissions so a users device will unknowingly connect to this evil twin instead of the authorized AP |
Extensible Authentication Protocol | A framework for transporting authentication protocols that defines the format of the messages |
