  2. 2 What is WiFi?

  3. 3 What is WiFi?(1/4) • Wi-Fi = "wireless fidelity" • Wireless networking technology • wireless internet and network connections • using radio waves

  4. What is WiFi?(2/4) 4 The Wi-Fi Alliance • Define as any “wireless local area network” (WLAN) • based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers' (IEEE) 802.11 standards.

  5. 5 What is WiFi?(3/4) • Commonly used and supported by many applications and devices

  6. 6 WiFi in HKBU (4/4) infrastructure? challenges and difficulties? Difference among different WiFi? Security?

  7. 7 WiFi infrastructure

  8. 8 WiFi infrastructure in HKBU Campus(1/8) HARNET Internet HKBU Server RADIUS Switch (PoE) Router (AP) Router (AP) Router (AP) Router (AP) Desktop Computer with PCI wifi card/wifi USB Adapter Notebook Netbook Mobile Device

  9. 9 Components of WiFi infrastructure(2/8) • Router • A computer networking device • Connected to two or more data lines from different networks • Performs the “traffic directing” functions on the internet.

  10. 10 Components of Wifiinfrastructure(3/8) • Access Point (AP) • Usually connects to a router as a standalone device, but it can also be the router itself • Allows wireless devices to connect to a wired network • About 1,800 APs in Kowloon Tong Campus • Hidden in the ceiling or in containers • Connected by twisted pair cable to switch

  11. 11 (4/8) An access point in a plastic box located in ITO office

  12. 12 Components of Wifi infrastructure(5/8) • Network Switch • Connects devices together on a computer network physically • Multiple cables can be connected to a switch • Power over Ethernet (PoE) • Describes any of several standardized or ad-hoc systems which pass electrical power along with data on Ethernet cabling • Less expensive and more convenient

  13. 13 Components of Wifiinfrastructure(6/8) • Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) • Authenticate users and authorizes access • An accounting system used by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) • When a user dials in to the ISP, the user must provide the username and the password • Information is passed to the RADIUS server • If the identification is verified-> authorizes access to the ISP’s network • Eg. BU-Standard: Student id, password

  14. 14 Components of Wifiinfrastructure(7/8) • The Hong Kong Academic and Research NETwork(HARNET) • The wide area network which links up the campus networks of the eight tertiary institutions in Hong Kong • Under the management of the Joint Universities Computer Centre (JUCC) • An advanced network infrastructure to facilitate the exchange of information

  15. (8/8) 15

  16. 16 The comparisons of different WiFis of HKBU

  17. 5 Others 17 Different WiFis of BU(1/9) 1 BU Standard 2 BUSRH 3 BU Web 4 BU Guest

  18. 1 BU Standard 18 (2/9) Target Users Characteristics Location Staff and students Campus buildings and public areas • Secured connection by 802.1x authentication • Connected to HARNET • Fast and stable connection • 1,800 AP in Kowloon Tong Campus

  19. 2 BUSRH 19 (3/9) Characteristics Target Users Location Staff and students Student Halls • 802.3 authentication • only available in Student Hostels • Provided by a different ISP, HKBN • 1st and 19th floor are connected to HARNET • 10 Aps per floor

  20. 20 (4/9) Hall way

  21. 3 BU Web 21 (5/9) Characteristics Target Users Location Staff and students Campus buildings and public areas • Authentication via web login • Restricted to web browsing and email • Used only if 802.1x is not supported by users’ devices • Currently not used (replaced by BU Standard)

  22. 4 BU Guest 22 (6/9) Characteristics Target Users Location Visitors Campus buildings and public areas • Login ticket (issued by ITO) is required • Requires money to buy the ticket

  23. 23 The Comparison of Different Wifis (7/9)

  24. 5 Others 24 (8/9) PCCW For Customers of PCCW and BU students How to use PCCW with BU student ID

  25. Eduroam, UniversitiesWiFi 25 (9/9) For Visitors from local and international educational institutes Y5ZONE For Customers of Y5ZONE and University students

  26. 26 Security Measure

  27. 27 - encodes the data sent wirelessly between your device and the routerType of encryption:1. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)- option for older routers and equipment- outdated!!2. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA & WPA2)- more common advanced security protocols- encryption keys they use change each time a device accesses the network, making it more difficult to hack than WEP (1/8) • ENCRYPTION

  28. 28 WiFiencryption in HKBU(2/8) • Security measures when choosing wifi access: BU- Guest; BU-Web Why are there two type of wifisecurity standard? BU-Standard; BUSRH

  29. 29 When you choose …. (3/8) • - You need to type ID (identity) and Password • to verify your identity • - Then your request will be transmit to RADIUS • for checking • RADIUS servers checked the user's information against a locally stored flat file database • RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) • A networking protocol of: • authentication • authorization • accounting

  30. 30 Digital Certificate(4/8) • it is a digital identifier used to authenticate a machine or user to a network • it contains information about who owns the certificate, certificate issuer, a unique serial number or other unique identification, expiration dates, and encrypted information that can be used to verify the information held within the certificate • Function: • - to authenticate and associate with access points (APs) or broadband Wi-Fi routers. APs and routers then connect to the Internet via a DSL, cable or other types of modems. • How it works: • - A certificate authority (CA) is an authority (security server) in a network, or a third-party entity, that issues and manages security credentials and public keys for message encryption and decryption. As part of a public key infrastructure (PKI), a CA checks with a registration authority (RA) to verify information provided by the requestor of a digital certificate.

  31. 31 Certificate of Bu-standard(5/8)

  32. 32 (6/8)

  33. 33 When transmitting info to internet…(7/8) No encryption when the information pass through controller People can easily get what you are searching online! How to protect privacy????

  34. 34 The answer is… HTTPS!(8/8) • HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) • a communications protocol for secure communication over a computer network • provides authenticationof the web site and associated web server that one is communicating with, whichprotects against man-in-the-middle attacks • providesbidirectional encryptionof communications between a client and server, which protects against eavesdroppingandtamperingwith and/or forging the contents of the communication. • guarantee user is communicating with precisely the web site that is intended to communicate with • ensure that the contents of communications between the user and site cannot be read or forged by any third party.

  35. 35 Potential Problem

  36. 36 (1/6) Overlapping

  37. 37 About overlapping(2/6) • Channels range • UK: 2.400 GHz and 2.497 GHz This is subdivided into 13 channels of 25 MHz • US: Just 11 of those channels are available • Overlapping High-incidence area: • Between adjacent bands

  38. 38 Visualization of channels and overlapping situation(3/6)

  39. 39 Signalstrength(spread)(4/6) • Different medium: • Concrete wall • Wood • Glass

  40. 40 Signal strength(spread)(5/6) • The Distance • For instance : different rooms in residence hall holds different Wi-Fi Signal strength. It depends on the distance between user and APs

  41. 41 Safety(6/6) • Access points and routers all use a network name called the SSID(Service Set Identifier) And usually it’s a Default SSID • Public free Wi-Fi : exposes your computer to security risk (Hackers)

  42. 42 Conclusion • Digital and Internet generation • Wifi system  Essential • Provide high speed and stabile WiFi • Improving the teaching and learning environment
