Abstract

With the advancement of wireless networking many serious security issues have been raised. Because of broadcast nature in wireless networks, various attacks such as eavesdropping, Denial of Service, Session hijacking is very much possible. To encounter these attacks various encryption standards such as Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and 802.11i (WPA2) have been deployed along with it Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) have also provided an important solution to security threats that surrounds the use of public networks for private communications. In this paper performance measurement of WEP and WPA2 on wireless local area networks (WLANs) using OpenVPN based on various performance metrics such as throughput, latency and frame loss rate will be done.
