A Survey on Wireless Security Standards and Future Scope.

Abstract

In today’s unsecured IT world providing security over a network is very important, security plays a vital role as communication happens through internet and it is quite complicated. Unauthorized user may misuse or modify the network content and its configuration. Thus, providing security over the network is the main role of network Engineers. Therefore, providing security to wired and wireless networks are the two main concepts evolving from many decades. Henceforth, guaranteeing the security in communication is the main need of the network system. Therefore, the focus of this paper is to bring out the different categories of network, security standards, and security in wireless network, advantages, and disadvantages of wired and wireless networks. Also this paper gives an insight into Protocol for carrying Authentication for Network Access (PANA).
