Kaspersky Lab Releases Research on Wi-Fi Networks in France

Kaspersky Lab analysts conduct regular research into Wi-Fi networks and protocols in order to gain an overall picture of Wi-Fi security issues and to raise public awareness. This research focuses on Wi-Fi network access points and mobile devices which support Bluetooth. Previous reports have covered Peking and Tjianjin, networks established at CeBIT 2006 (Germany) and InfoSecurity London, which included data both about networks at the exhibition and around London.

This latest report looks at Paris, and specifically at wireless networks and Bluetooth devices at InfoSecurity 2006, recently held in the city. Alexander Gostev, a senior virus analyst at Kaspersky Lab, compares the data collected about Wi-Fi networks in London and Paris, including data collected in the business regions of the cities. The first part of the report provides an analysis of Wi-Fi networks, including speed of data transmission, equipment manufacturers, data encryption etc.

While collecting data about Wi-Fi networks, Kaspersky Lab analysts also collect data on Bluetooth enabled devices. Again, data from Paris was compared with the data from London, which was published on viruslist in June 2006.
