Wireless Networking and Information Security

This section focuses on wireless communication and networking technologies and consists of three chapters. In chapter VIII, the authors introduce a set of new projects in order to support teaching wireless networking and provide students hands-on practical work. A series of interesting wireless projects engage students to actively learn wireless communication and network fundamentals and reinforce their comprehension. Chapter IX provides a tutorial on the architecture of Wi-Fi networks, the evolution of IEEE 802.11 standards and radio propagation measurements using available wireless equipments (limited hardware and software resources). Through a series of experiments and measurements of the Wi-Fi projects, students indicated that they had learned a great deal about Wi-Fi fundamentals.Chapter X highlights a teaching hospital model developed for information assurance training in the context of information security risk analysis. The authors consider the difficulty in crystallizing theoretical knowledge into fled knowledge. Therefore, they propose the teaching hospital approach which involves incorporating real cases to supplement existing curriculum, keeps teaching material relevant over time through infusion of current research problems and creates a rich learning environment to support students to gain a deeper knowledge.
