Secure your Wi-Fi network
WPA2 enabled Wi-Fi hotspot provides authentication and encryption mechanism to secure Wi-Fi network from external intrusion. WEP provides limited security due to manual or static encryption key configuration. Wireless blocking paint or RF paint is another option to build an electromagnetic fortress. Wi-Fi users may find this paint useful as it will block intrusion or leakage of RF waves across the paint layer. While it is a necessary security practice to change the default user name/password and WPA protocol dynamic encryption key thwarts any hacker attempt to decrypt the key; this paint will protect your Wi-Fi network from any unauthentic data recording. EM-SEC is one of the providers of an electromagnetic paint that can be coated on the interior walls to protect the facility from airborne hacker attacks. This paint can be applied to many types of construction materials such as concrete, wood, plastic, etc. Google for other RF paints.
In the RF paint protected facility the entire wall must be covered with paint, RF shielded doors and windows must be used. The airtight fortress must be built to protect sensitive confidential intellectual property that is transmitted on the wireless media. Since this paint blocks RF signals, the mobile phone may not work inside an electromagnetic fortress, so the user must configure the mobile handset to forward all calls to a landline PSTN/ISDN phone or a VOIP phone. Wireless Skype handset may be used by connecting to any Wi-Fi hotspot inside the electromagnetic fortress, Wi-Fi enabled mobile phones may also be used, this will enable use of the mobile phone handset as a Skype handset. The mobile phone users may download Skype mobile version on the mobile phone with Wi-Fi port. By using wireless Skype handset the user is not bound to use the desktop and headset. Here it is assumed that the Wi-Fi network inside the electromagnetic fortress is connected to the external world (internet, PSTN, ISDN or satellite communication network). This connectivity is required to receive forwarded mobile phone calls on the land line or VOIP phone. The landline and mobile phone calls can be forwarded to a SkypeIn number.
