Assignment Description

Secure enterprise wireless local area networks LANs are an important component of modern network
architecture. Such networks are required to support mobile devices and provide connectivity where wired
connections are not practical or cost prohibitive.

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 just plain curious or malicious hackers to
try and access confidential enterprise information. Securing a wireless LAN is not hard – industry advances in
technology and vendor innovation makes this easier than ever.

WPA2-Enterprise deployment includes 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.

This assignment requires the students to design and implement a secure enterprise wireless network for an
apartment block, considering the ethical implications and the requirements of a modern apartment block. The
students are required to complete the following tasks and submit a report on Moodle.

1. Explore the ethical implications in the design and implementation of a secure enterprise wireless
network for an apartment block.

2. Identify and analyse the requirements of an apartment block, considering the issues of multi dwelling
and justify the use of WLANs in this scenario

3. Design a secure enterprise wireless network for an apartment block, employing a standard industry
tool.

4. Analysis of the secure enterprise wireless network using WPA2 and the RADIUS server, considering
the following aspects:

a. Confidentiality
b. Integrity
c. Availability
d. Security
e. Privacy

5. Implementation of a secure enterprise wireless network using WPA2 and the RADIUS server for an
apartment block.

6. Demonstrate the network security against attacks.

7. Demonstration in Week 11 during the Lab.

The tutor will assign the groups; maximum number of students in a group is 4 and minimum. The students in
each group should be from the same lab. Each member of the group will be assessed individually in the
demonstration.
