What is the difference between bcsecure and BostonCollege wireless service?
Bcsecure is a secure wireless network service that connects to the Internet using WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2). WPA2 encrypts your data before it is transmitted over the wireless network. Bcsecure is available to BC faculty, students, and staff with an active BC username and password. BostonCollege is an open, unsecured, wireless network service. It does not encrypt data. Therefore, information sent across the wireless network using BostonCollege is “in the clear.” Others might snoop or intercept data transmitted using the unsecured wireless service.
