Perils and Fixes for 802.11 WLANs in SOHOs
- Abstract
- Wireless networks, especially 802.11b, are becoming very popular for homes and small offices, despite serious security problems that have been widely reported. We give an overview of the 802.11 standards, the WEP algorithm and RC4 encryption. Then we analyze the various 802.11 security problems and discuss various ways to improve SOHO wireless security.
