Network security concepts Network security starts with authenticating‚ commonly with a username and a password. Since this requires just one detail authenticating the user name —i.e. the password— this is sometimes termed one-factor authentication. With two-factor authentication‚ something the user ’has’ is also used (e.g. a security token or ’dongle’‚ an ATM card‚ or a mobile phone); and with three-factor authentication‚ something the user ’is’ is also used (e.g. a fingerprint or retinal scan)

Introduction Network architecture is a combination of topology and protocols. In this paper‚ I will discuss topology‚ which is the defined as the shape of a network or how a network is laid out. Topology also consists of how the different components or nodes of a network are connected and how they communicate with each other. Topologies are either logical or physical. In addition‚ in the sections of this paper‚ I will compare and contrast some different conventional architecture and what types of

Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance. However‚ simple CSMA is susceptible to the hidden node problem‚ especially in so called ad hoc networks where a node may communicate directly with every other node in range or using intermediate nodes as relays otherwise. Hidden nodes cause costly packet collisions and thus significantly affect network performance. In order to combat the hidden node problem‚ a mechanism known as Request to Send/Clear to Send (RTS/CTS) handshake is often used. RTS/CTS

Wireless Network A wireless network‚ as its name would suggest‚ is a network of computers and computer peripherals that are connected to each other without wires. This enables ease of communication‚ especially for mobile computing platforms. Further‚ there are a number of other advantages to a wireless network that make them increasingly common in both the workplace and at home. Nearly all wireless networks in the world work on a standard set up by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics

Network Hardening Unit 8 Assignment 1 It is very important to go through the process of hardening. Hardening is where you change the hardware and software configurations to make computers and devices as secure as possible. I picked the network layout 1-the workgroup . First with the workstations and laptops you need to shut down the unneeded services or programs or even uninstall them. I would also have some good anti-virus software on the workstations. You also need a hardened image for

Computer Networks Does anyone really know what networking is? “In the world of computers‚ networking is the practice of linking two or more computing devices together for the purpose of sharing data” (Networking Fundamentals). Now this is a great explanation but does this really help us understand? Networking has grown over many years. Where did networking come from? Lets go back to the beginning and find out how far we have come. Network research can be traced back to around the 1960’s.

The foundation should involve an infrastructural plan‚ and the usability of the components of the infrastructure. A project plan‚ as in any other plan‚ should outline the premise of the project and answer some basic questions like why
