hello everyone my name is vijay kumar Devireddy and i am glad to have you back on my episode 20 today we are discussing about We all use wireless devices these days.Whether it's your laptop, your tablet, or your smartphone,all of these have the ability to communicate wirelessly.How can we best secure these devices?Well, there's two main things we have to think about when we talk about wireless with these devices:wifi and Bluetooth.First, wifi, is there internet connectivity? If we're using wifi, we want to make sure the wifi is set to be protected at the highest levels.Currently, that's WPA2, or Wifi Protected Access Version Two.This relies on the advanced encryption standard for its encryption algorithm, also known as AES.In addition to securing our wifi, we also have to consider the peripherals that connect to these devices.For example, if you have a smartphone and it connects to a Bluetooth to your car,how is that link being secured?Well, by default, Bluetooth requires you to pair the device and when you pair the device, the two devices will communicate via that shared link in giving each other a shared link key.They use that key to encrypt their data.Unfortunately, some of these devices use weaker encryption than others, so if you're really worried about your confidentiality, you should always try to avoid wireless devices when possible.If you have to use a wireless device like headphones or connecting to your car, you should look at the manufacturer specifications to determine what type of encryption is being used and if they're not using AES with a strong key, you might want to pass on using that device and buy a replacement.
