Wireless Network Security Part I

Radio based communication, open air The attacker, having a radio transmitter and receiver with the same radio frequency of the underlying wireless network, can easily: Intercept wireless data Connect his computing devices to a nearby wireless network Inject new packets to an existing wireless network Jam a particular wireless channel using a jamming device Security measures Implement encryption algorithms, authentication algorithms, and integrity-check algorithms at the data-link layer Provide network access with wired equivalent privacy Higher-layer protocols and applications can be used without any modification ...
