The Physics of RuBee Security

Security in all wireless systems is complex and risky. Most secure facilities that store mission critical assets simply ban the use of all RF wireless systems. The FBI has publicly said all wireless systems are insecure. Anyone can get free on-line software that quickly cracks most WiFi encryption protocols, including WEP, WPA, and WPA2 (see WiFi is no longer a viable secure connection). In 2005 the FBI set up a public demonstration that cracked all WEP WiFi networks in under three minutes (see FBI Teaches Lesson In How To Break Into Wi-Fi Network).

RuBee does not have the widely publicized security risks found with wireless Credit Cards. Wireless Credit Cards are wide open to eavesdropping, or what is now called "electronic pick pocketing" (see Video Electronic Pickpocket). RuBee Visibility Wireless Networks are secure and can not be cracked or monitored. RuBee is installed in some of the highest, most secure sites in the world providing real-time, mission critical asset visibility, where all other wireless systems have been banned. (see Security Features Q&A Summary).

Why? Because RuBee has optional secure encryption, with asymmetric public, private keys, but also provides a secure physical data communication layer that eliminates the risk of eavesdropping, tempest threat and target threat.



We review the important issues associated with secure asset visibility networks in a detailed white paper, (RuBee (IEEE 1902.1) – The Physics Behind, Real-Time, High Security Wireless Asset Visibility Networks in Harsh Environments, J Stevens, C. Weich, R. Gilchrist, September 2010) published at a recent International Security Conference sponsored by the IEEE.
