SECURITY COST OF IEEE 802.11 WIRELESS LAN
Keywords:
security mechanism, wireless network, topology.Abstract
Wireless network have gained popularity due to the flexibility
and mobility that allow users access to the information. This
research evaluated the effect of multiple security mechanisms of
the performance for IEEE 802.11g wireless network using
server-client architecture. The results showed that security
mechanisms degrade the performance of network and we must
know how much we pay for security features.
