7. An 802.11 wireless authentication method where client only communicate directly with the access point

8. Sending unsolicited messages to a bluetooth device

9. An open - global specification designed to deliver information/services to mobile wireless devices (i.e. cell phones)

10. Wireless authentication method where both the SSID and encryption key are required - subject to man in the middle attacks

11. Theft of data by connecting to bluetooth device

12. A wireless security protocol that uses Initialization Vector (IV) and has many security concerns

13. SSID broadcasting - using default SSID and/or settings - access point mapping - rogue access points RF management - data emanation - and bluetooth security
