High-Speed Wlans And Wlan Security

Almost as soon as the first WLAN standards were established, hackers began trying to exploit weaknesses but overtimes the security has improved along with speeds and reliability. Describe the differences between authentication and privacy and what mechanisms WLANs can use to ensure both.
Learning Objectives Covered
• List basic and expanded security features and issues of IEEE 802.11 networks
You will:

1. Describe the differences between authentication and privacy
2. Describe how WLANS can protect both
