Abstract

Due to ease of installation, cost efficiency, scalability and mobility the Wireless networking technology is being deployed everywhere in our daily routine life. With all these advantages WLAN also has security threats and vulnerabilities. Wireless security is necessary to measure, detect and prevent those threats and vulnerabilities.
