2 WIRELESS NETWORKING CONCEPTSAnswer 1Encryption is a process of transferring a plaintext data into cipher text in order to makethat data unreadable and inaccessible by the unauthorized users. The process of encryptionallows only the authorized persons to access a particular data (Biham & Shamir, 2012.). The different encryption standards that are mainly used in WiMAX network includestriple data encryption standard or 3DES, AES and RSA. These three encryption standards areelaborated in the following table- 3DESAESRSAThis method ofencryption uses threedifferent keys each oflength 56-bit inencryption of data Provide additionalsecurity with the 3-key encryptionThe length of the keyis fixed and thereforethe process ofencryption is veryeffective. 3DES is based onANSIX9.52 standard.3DES however offers aslower performancedue to the involvementof 3 different keys(Singh, 2013). Advanced encryptionstandard or AES is aadvanced process ofDES and use 128 bit,192 bit and 256 bitkeys for encryption ofthe data (Karthik &Muruganandam,2014). This encryption usessymmetric blockcipherOffers a considerablefaster performancethan 3DES andtherefore considered asone of the major toolsfor WiMax network(Daemen & Rijmen,2013.). RSA or Rivest Shamirand Adleman is anasymmetric keyencryption standardused for encryptionand decryption ofmessages using boththe public and privatekey. The data encryptedusing RSA is difficultto decrypt without thekey as it involves twolarge prime numbers inthe process ofencryption (Nagar &Alshamma, 2012,March).RSA is however rarelyused in ensuringsecurity of WiMAX. Answer 2Wireless personal area network or WPAN is a network of interconnecting devices, whichprovides a wireless connection to the different devices. This technology is mainly used for
