Formal Verification of IEEE 802.11 Authentication Protocols
IEEE 802.11 is the standard designed to provide secured communication in wireless LAN. The IEEE 802.11i specification contains both WPA-PSK, WPA-GPG authentication protocols. IEEE 802.11w authentication protocol enhances the IEEE802.11i security for selected management frames. These protocols allow a wireless station to gain access to a protected wireless network managed by an access point. In ...
متن کاملWireless Network Security
Wireless networking is becoming increasingly prevalent in modern networked environments. This paper examined methods used to secure wireless networks from intrusion and eavesdropping. WEP, WPA and RSN were examined to see the progression from weak to much stronger security for wireless LANs. WEP was incredibly insecure, but these vulnerabilities were addressed to produce significantly more secu...

The purpose of the IEEE 802.11i standard is to endue wireless networks with advanced security by leveraging mature and proven security technologies. The concept of a Robust Secure Network (RSN) as a long-term security architecture was defined in order to provide confidentiality of data being transferred over the wireless medium as well as to provide mutual authentication between mobile stations...
متن کاملMulti-dimensional Analyses of 802.11 Wireless Network Security Protocols
Wireless networks have become so ubiquitous that researchers all over the world have come up with various security protocols to ensure confidentiality and integrity of data as well as availability of resources. IEEE 802.11 task group drafted a new wireless security protocol known as robust security network (RSN circa 2009) erstwhile Wi-Fi alliance came up with Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). The ...
متن کاملSecurity Analysis and Improvements for IEEE 802.11i
This paper analyzes the IEEE 802.11i wireless networking standard with respect to data confidentiality, integrity, mutual authentication, and availability. Under our threat model, 802.11i appears to provide effective data confidentiality and integrity when CCMP is used. Furthermore, 802.11i may provide satisfactory mutual authentication and key management, although there are some potential impl...
