Security of wireless computer networks
Jelínek, Martin ; Pelka, Tomáš (referee) ; Doležel, Radek (advisor)
The master's thesis deals with the issue of Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) from the viewpoint of the security and functional principle of security mechanisms. The transition to the issue concerning the security is accompanied by the methods of wireless data transmission operating on the level of physical layer (FHSS, DSSS, OFDM, MIMO), which is followed by the summary of individual 802.11 standards. The next part deals with the issue of shared transmission medium (CSMA/CA), influence of interference and correcting mechanisms (RTS/CTS). Within the security, the principles of the authentication along with the commonly used methods of security (WEP, WPA, WPA2) are described in detail. The first part concerning security deals with the security in the form of the WEP protocol, which is considered insufficient nowadays and points out the imperfect implementation and the consequent risks. The following part describes the security in the form of WPA which eliminates the implementation weaknesses of the previous WEP security protocol. The description of commonly used mechanisms of authentication (PSK, 802.1x), required temporary key management (PTK, GTK), data integrity (MIC) and encryption which uses TKIP protocol are also included. The last part, possible WLAN security, is aimed at the full support of 802.11i standard, which is called WPA2 (sometimes RSN). That part describes the basic encryption security element CCMP, which is based on the AES block cipher modes. The practical part of the thesis deals with the security verification of current wireless networks. In the process of verification the accessible HW means and programming tools of Open Source Software (OSS) are used. By means of verification it has been pointed out that there are possible security risks resulting from the security method which has been used. Also several recommendations how to reduce the security risks of the used method to minimum are mentioned.

Software support for cryptography education
Stančík, Peter ; Vyoral, Josef (referee) ; Burda, Karel (advisor)
The main aim of this thesis was to study, choose and decribe techniques eligible for cryptography education. A pedagogically appropriate presentation for the selected techniques' principles was to be chosen. Another goal was to create an integrated modular web interface containing a calculator focused on cryptographic operations. The eligibility of techniques was assessed accordingly to the computing processes implied by these techniques and also accordingly to the ability of being presented in an illustrative way. A program simplifying calculations used in symetric and asymetric cryptography was designed and implemented. It disposes of a web interface and one of its parts is focused on steganographic techniques. On the other hand, any pedagogically appropriate presentation interconnecting this program with theoretical findings from this field was not found.

RSA Algorithm and Its Use in Electronic Communication with State Authorities
FROULA, Stanislav
This bachelor thesis focuses on the RSA algorithm and it's use in electronic communication. The RSA algorithm is curently one of the most widely used asymmetric encryption algorithms. It was first publicly described in 1977 by the mathematicians Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman. It's the first algorithm that is suitable for both electronic signature and public key encryption. The theoretical part explains all related concepts of cryptography. The basic operating principle of the algorithm is described in specific simplified example. It also includes a description of public key encryption and a list of institutions, which use digital signature to verify authenticity of the sender. The practical part focuses on a questionnaire survey, which investigates the awareness level of internet banking users in term of security of using internet banking and following the security policy recommended by banks. The results are analysed and evaluated at the end of the thesis.
