Computing without wires (or even a net): the pitfalls, potentials, and practicality of wireless networking
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Wireless Network Components (Wireless Local Area Networks, Bluetooth Radios, and Personal Digital Assistants) are presenting unparalleled convenience, potential gains in productivity, and huge security risks. Misunderstanding of capabilities, overstatement of security properties, and a fundamental lack of valid policies, can make for a very large risk in the workplace. Too often, “Management by Inflight Magazine” has led customers to embrace technologies that are not properly tested or even compatible with current or future system architectures or policies. Customers are often forced, by their upper management, to shoehorn system components or technologies without benefit of a lot of security analysis or even the knowledge of the devices prior to their introduction to the network. Built in capabilities of network components such as Bluetooth radios, and wireless LANs will be seen as not only improvements in communications, but potential holes, backdoors, and points of entry to otherwise secure networks.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
