Wireless security is an important consideration, especially when deploying a
BYOD model.
Captive Portal
Wi-Fi Captive Portals require the user to log in through a web page before getting full access to the Wi-Fi network.
Virtual Personal Network (VPN)
VPNs are typically used to create a secure connection to a network. Using a VPN with VCS is not recommended.
iOS 7 Per App VPN
With iOS 7, Apple introduced a way to initiate a VPN on a per-application basis. Unfortunately, the implementation limits traffic over the VPN tunnel to TCP and HTTP traffic.
802.1X
Before a smartphone can use the Wi-Fi network, it must associate with the network and be validated.
802.11k/r
If 802.1X is required, 802.11k/r must be used. 802.11k/r are protocols that improve the roaming times drastically when using 802.1X.
