Wireless technologies include, but are not limited to, microwave, satellite, packet radio (UHF/VHF), 802.11x, and Bluetooth.
Wireless networks use authentication protocols (e.g., EAP/TLS, PEAP), which provide credential protection and mutual authentication. In certain situations, wireless signals may radiate beyond the confines and control of organization-controlled facilities.
When systems connect to a wireless access point there is a requirement to authenticate. Authentication applies to user, device, or both as necessary. Authentication data needs to be protected by encryption.
This is a wireless access requirement regarding WAP encryption. This requirement does not apply to applications.
