In wireless communication, which of the following controls allows the device receiving the communications to verify that the received communications have not been altered in transit?

A. Device authentication and data origin authentication

B. Wireless intrusion detection (IDS) and prevention systems (IPS)

C. The use of cryptographic hashes

D. Packet headers and trailers

Explanation:

Calculating cryptographic hashes for wireless communications allows the device receiving the communications to verify that the received communications have not been altered in transit. This prevents masquerading and message modification attacks. Device authentication and data origin authentication is not the correct answer since authenticating wireless endpoints to each other prevents man-in-the-middle attacks and masquerading. Wireless iDS/lPSs is not the correct answer since wireless IDS/lPS shave the ability to detect misconfigured devices and rogue devices, and detect and possibly stop certain types of attacks. Packet headers and trailers alone do not ensure that the content has not been altered.
