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...

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, academic researchers reported vulnerability in IEEE 802.11b Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) protocol. Solutions from IEEE 802.11 IETF, Wi-Fi Alliance and OEMs are studies for secure wireless solutions. A baseline WLAN which is solely secured by WEP is established. Concerns and security issuess related to WLAN polled by Network Computing in 2002 is used to formulate the interview questions.
