Security |
|
| |
The Wired Equivalent
Privacy (WEP) which forms part of the 802.11 standard
does not provide adequate security. Many independent
studies have shown how, with relatively little
effort, attackers can decrypt data that has been
encrypted using WEP simply be eavesdropping on
the network. These studies have also shown that
attackers can log onto WEP-enabled networks as
bona fide users and access the network without
being detected. |

Authentication |
|
| |
Other than "hard-coded"
MAC address lists, which can easily be spoofed,
most WLAN Access Points do not offer any means
to authenticate users before they are granted
access to the network. |
