Wireless LAN Security

Not only to corporations who plan to deploy wireless LANs, wireless security is equally important to those who choose not to deploy them because enforcing a "no wireless" policy is hard. It is very easy and cheap for an ignorant user or a visitor to plug in a wireless access device into a wired LAN.

The very reason -- cheap and easy to install -- for which corporations wish to deploy wireless LANs has made them extra hard to secure them. Hackers or others with malicious intent have found them easy and cheap to attack as well.

These are the problems we face with wireless LAN security. Working with the problems requires in depth expertise in the field.

Components of Wireless Security

The challenges are

  • Prevent un-authorized use of networks
  • Ensure secure communication
