Re: Wireless Device Security

Hi All,

Thanks a lot for your replies. Let me reframe my question. I am sorry for not making my question clear..

Here is the scenerio  

    Wireless Link Wireless Link

              1   2
 ---|        |--|--\                   |-----------|

 Data        Data                       Device to Store Data 
 Source      collector                 

There is data source which is very low power device. Data colletor is needs to collect data from *source* through wireless channel. Again *data collector* is also a low power device. Data collector sends data to the data storage unit again thru wireless channel.

Now I would like you all to comment being very low power device(data source and data collector) what kind of security features you would like to put in these devices.Its a point to point collection and only one data source and one data collector will be there. The dsitance between these tow devices can be maximum of 1 ft. I need data accuracy and its critical data.

Second what kind of security feature should be implemented in data collector and data storage unit. Distance can be 10-15 ft.

2> what kind of communication should be there between data collector and data source( i.e. Normal wireless, 802.11b or any other protocol)

Do you need help?
