ANALYZING SECURITY MECHANISMS IN WLAN
Keywords:
communication, WLAN, security, standard, authentication.Abstract
Because of their flexibility, affordability, and ease of installation,
the WLAN have become increasingly popular and widely used.
Besides these advantages, inherent broadcast nature of wireless
networks has raised security concerned. In this study we
analyzing WLAN security standards from point of view of
implementation the major security requirements in
communication systems and the features and weakness of them.
