Wireless Network Security Issues

In the time span of just a few years, wireless networking has emerged from a novelty to revolution. The speed with which wireless networking has caught on is not surprising owing to large bandwidth and range of several hundred feet. Moreover multiple wireless access points can be easily installed on same network to cover more areas. Our main challenge in design of these networks is their exposure to security attacks. Routing protocols for wireless networks are still an active research area. There is no single standard routing protocol. Therefore we aim to consider common security threats into account to provide guidelines to secure routing protocols. In this paper a study has been carried out for the threats on wireless networks and security goals to be achieved. http://dx.doi.org/10.14429/dbit.25.1.3645
