Abstract

Wireless local area networks (WLANs) based on the IEEE 802.11 standards are one of today’s fastest growing technologies in businesses, schools, and homes, for good reasons. With the increase in deployment of WLAN, security challenges are also increased. Any technical lapse or any type of defect in software implementation may originate security risk. Standard Bodies and researchers have mainly used UML state machines to address the implementation issues. In this paper we have discussed various Wireless security issues and risks for the purpose of prevention of unauthorized access or damage to computers using wireless networks.
