ADVANCED SECURITY MEASURES IN A WIRELESS LAN

Wireless local area networks (wireless LANs, or WLANs) are metamorphosing thelandscape of computer networking. The use of mobile computing devices, such as laptops andpersonal digital assistants, coupled with the demand for continual network connections withouthaving to plug in, are driving the adoption of enterprise WLANs. Network managers are usingWLANs to facilitate network moves, add-ons and changes. In addition, the inherent flexibility ofWLANs overcomes limitations created by older buildings, leased spaces, or temporary workareas.This paper not only furnishes the details about Wireless LANs but also bestows anabundant number of methods in which the security of these WLANs can be breached. It alsocontributes a myriad number of ways in which one can thwart the potential assault on theWLANs network.KEYWORDS
