HTTPS
The Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTPS) is the secure version of HTTP, the communication
protocol of the World Wide Web. HTTPS is built into the browser. If you are using HTTPS you will notice
a closed lock icon at the bottom corner of your browser page.
All data sent via HTTPS is encrypted, thus ensuring secure transactions take place.
I
IAPP
The Inter Access Point Protocol (IAPP) is an IEEE standard (802.11f) that defines communication between
the access points in a "distribution system". This includes the exchange of information about mobile stations
and the maintenance of bridge forwarding tables, plus securing the communications between access points.
IBSS
An independent basic service set (IBSS) is an Ad hoc Mode Wireless Networking Framework in which
stations communicate directly with each other.
IEEE
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is an international standards body that develops
and establishes industry standards for a broad range of technologies, including the 802 family of networking
and wireless standards. (See 802, 802.1x, 802.11, 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11e, 802.11f, 802.11g, and 802.11i.)

Infrastructure Mode
Infrastructure Mode is a Wireless Networking Framework in which wireless stations communicate with
each other by first going through an Access Point. In this mode, the wireless stations can communicate with
each other or can communicate with hosts on a wired network. The access point is connected to a wired
network and supports a set of wireless stations.
An infrastructure mode framework can be provided by a single access point (BSS) or a number of access
points (ESS).
Intrusion Detection
The Intrusion Detection System (IDS) inspects all inbound network activity and reports suspicious patterns
that may indicate a network or system attack from someone attempting to break into the system. It reports
access attempts using unsupported or known insecure protocols.
IP
The Internet Protocol (IP) specifies the format of packets, also called datagrams, and the addressing scheme.
IP is a connectionless, best-effort packet switching protocol. It provides packet routing, fragmentation and
re-assembly. It is combined with higher-level protocols, such as TCP or UDP, to establish the virtual
connection between destination and source.
The current version of IP is IPv4. A new version, called IPv6 or IPng, is under development. IPv6 is an attempt
to solve the shortage of IP addresses.
IP Address
Systems are defined by their IP address, a four-byte (octet) number uniquely defining each host on the
Internet. It is usually shown in form 192.168.2.254. This is called dotted-decimal notation.
