تقانات امن شبكات الاتصال اللاسلكية wlan

Wired communication networks depend on wires that are, in general, buried underground. Reaching such wires would need digging, breaking, or other types of work, which are usually visible to those administrating the networks. A WLAN constitutes in its basic form (known as BSS) of one broadcasting and one receiving stations. The addition of multiple access points (APs) forms a distributed system (DS). Wires in major parts of such networks are replaced with electromagnetic waves, which are prone to be accessed by non intended people. Tackling the security in this case is more complicated and requires more attention and efforts. The research deals with network structure and different available and under-research security strategies. The main weak points of these strategies and how to handle them are covered too. WLANs are widely used because of their economical benefits and flexibility of development and access.
