2 WIRELESS NETWORKING CONCEPTSAnswer 1The process of conversion of a plain text data to an unreadable version of data by the useof standard algorithm is known as encryption. Encryption is generally used for protecting thesensitive information from the access of unauthorized persons (Biham & Shamir, 2012).. Theprocess of encryption is common in WiMax in order to encrypt and protect all the traffic itexperiences in its network. Out of many different encryption standards, the most commonly usedencryption standards in WiMax networks includes triple DES, AES or advanced encryptionstandard and CCMP or Counter Mode Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Protocol.These three encryption standards are elaborated further in the following table-Triple DESAESCCMPTriple DES or 3DES isa symmetric keyalgorithm protocol thatuses three keys of 56-bit length for ensuringa high level ofencryption. 3DES uses asymmetric blockcipher and implementsthe basic DESalgorithm three timesto ensure extraprotection. However,the running of thealgorithm three timesresults in the processbecoming slower andthereforetheperformance of DES ismuch slower incomparison to otherencryption standardsand algorithm. 3DES has a fixed keysize and therefore itAdvanced encryptionstandard or AES is abetter and more secureencryption standard forWiMax networkIt uses differentencryption keys of 128bit, 192 bit or 256 bitas standard encryptionkeys.AES is a symmetricblock cipher algorithm(Karthik&Muruganandam, 2014)After 3DES, AES isthe most commonlyused encryptionstandard for WiMaxprotocol (Daemen &Rijmen, 2013.).It however requires adedicated processor forimplementation ofAES in WiMaxnetwork. CCMP or countermode cipher blockchaining messageauthentication is anencryption standardgenerally developedfor wireless LAN. It uses 128-bit key forprotecting the accessof data (Saberi et al.,2012).It is a block ciphermode encryptionstandard.CCMP is based onAES or advancedencryption standard.Offers enhancedsecurity as it employs128bit keys and a 48-bit initialization vector.
