Abstract

The introduction and evolution of security standards for wireless networking is not an easy task. Flaws in the initial security standard resulted in quick-fix solutions and interoperability issues. This paper discusses the progress of wireless security protocols and its effect on home and enterprise users. Wireless networking was initially marketed towards home consumers and specialized applications, but was limited by low throughput speeds. Popular encryption and authentication protocols used in wireless networks such as WEP, WPA, and WPA2 implementation are analyzed. Possible problems and attacks for these protocols discussed in this paper. Each protocol is being analyzed for the security for home users and enterprise. The main impact of this paper is to bring awareness to the Society about the capabilities that a WLAN attacker may obtain.
