  • Abstract
    The advent of wireless LANs is a welcome sign in terms of ease of deployment and re-configuration. However, security is an alarming concern, as everything being transmitted is available "in the air. " Our work focuses on using existing protocols, standards, tools and technologies to implement a secure wireless LAN. Security in a network needs to be implemented at multiple levels, hence we have concentrated on implementing SSLD security, MAC address filtering, encryption and RADIUS based authentication of wireless clients.
