Peddling Snake Oil as Security
Richard Forno, 2002-04-17

Wireless security vendors are trying to create a market where none exists. As always, the key to better wireless security is better practice, not new products.

I have some questions to those seeking to implement Kerberos onto their hardware:

*What* was the actual problem; Was it ever authentication or the key agreement protocol that were broken?

How exactly will Kerberos prevent me from walking around with my iPaq and sniffing for RLans, when there is no interaction that require authentication, taking place?

Will you still use RC4 or have you considered replacing RC4 and adding some other more suited stream algo?

Will the standard be set outside the US so no pointless export restrictions get in the way of a secure standard?
