Potential Security Vulnerabilities of a Wireless Network in a Military Healthcare Facility
The adaptation of wireless technology into the healthcare practitioner’s daily activities is changing the face of patient care every day. Doctors can now review any pertinent patient data from digital x-rays as they are taken, lab results as they are coded into the system and live patient vital statistic monitoring from their mobile PDA’s and Tablet PC’s at the point of care. Wireless technology adaptation has other benefits such as lowering long term cost of infrastructure maintenance and upgrades, and allowing for rapid changes to the network infrastructure versus wired technology. (Owens, Tachakra, Banitsas, Istepanian, 2001) As a system administrator in a large military healthcare facility, I am responsible for the security of all systems, network and patient data that is transmitted through that network. To keep up with the advanced implementations of wireless technology, understand the requirements I am bound by and the threats I may have to face, I started this research project for my own benefit as well as to share my findings with my staff. I will review the regulations that govern patient data in its electronic state, review a number of the current threats against a wireless network and recommend a possible wireless structure based on my research and policies that guide me. |

Wireless technologies have become increasingly popular in our everyday business and personal lives.
Personal digital assistants (PDA) allow individuals to access calendars, e-mail, address and phone number
lists, and the Internet. Some technologies even offer global positioning system (GPS) capabilities that can
pinpoint the location of the device anywhere in the world. Wireless technologies promise to offer even
more features and functions in the next few years.
An increasing number of government agencies, businesses, and home users are using, or considering
using, wireless technologies in their environments. Agencies should be aware of the security risks
associated with wireless technologies. Agencies need to develop strategies that will mitigate risks as they
integrate wireless technologies into their computing environments. This document discusses certain
wireless technologies, outlines the associated risks, and offers guidance for mitigating those risks. |

Next Generation Wireless Systems and Networks Jul 2006
Next Generation Wireless Systems and Networks offers an expert view of cutting edge Beyond 3rd Generation (B3G) wireless applications. This self-contained reference combines the basics of wireless communications, such as 3G wireless standards, spread spectrum and CDMA systems, with a more advanced level research-oriented approach to B3G communications, eliminating the need to refer to other material.
This book will provide readers with the most up-to-date technological developments in wireless communication systems/networks and introduces the major 3G standards, such as W-CDMA, CDMA2000 and TD-SCDMA. It also includes a focus on cognitive radio technology and 3GPP E-UTRA technology; areas which have not been well covered elsewhere.
Covers many hot topics in the area of next generation wireless from the authors #161;¯ own research, including: Bluetooth, all-IP wireless networking, power-efficient and bandwidth-efficient air-link technologies, and multi-user signal processing in B3G wireless
Clear, step-by-step progression throughout the book will provide the reader with a thorough grounding in the basic topics before moving on to more advanced material
Addresses various important topics on wireless communication systems and networks that have emerged only very recently, such as Super-3G technology, 4G wireless, UWB, OFDMA and MIMO
Includes a wealth of explanatory tables and illustrations
This essential reference will prove invaluable to senior undergraduate and postgraduate students, academics and researchers. It will also be of interest to telecommunications engineers wishing to further their knowledge in this field. |
