Implementing Security in a Client/Server Wireless Local Area Network

Computer network evolves with birth of Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). Tangible benefits such as increase employee satisfaction and productivity drive enterprise WLANs adoption. However, security remains the most significant, but least understood in information technology. In the year 2001, ac...
