REDUCING Range

A good example and it has an easy answer. If person A is using WPA with

> a strong passphrase, their data are secure. If person B is using WPA > with a strong passphrase, their data are also secure. > > Why do you believe when data are encrypted, that the range the data are > transmitted has anything to do with data security?The argument has NOTHING to

do with encryption. It has to do with the

visibility of your network.

I'm not saying run without encryption, restricted MAC access etc just

try to see this one issue of range that we are discussing here.

Here it is again in even simpler terms for you Pat.

Greater coverage by your network = More people see it

More people see your network = more chance one of them may hack it

PS.

In reply to your -'If- -person A is using WPA with a strong pass

phrase, their data are secure.'-, your words. If that were true then

WPA is an unbreakable system which is a bold and stupid statement. The

only truly secure encryption system I know of is a one time pad which

is just not practical on a network system.

PPS. "If person A is using WPA with a strong passphrase, their data are secure." Yes, those are my words and I stand by them. Tell me, in what cup of tea did you derive the formula secure=unbreakable?

If you have a formula to show an underlying weakness in WPA, believe me, I and several thousand mathematicians working at the NSA would love to see it.
