Title: Wireless LAN security

Supervisor(s): Prof. U. B. Desai

Abstract:

        WLAN are more susceptible to eavesdropping and intrusions. Encryption is the most popular method used for securing the network, but involves throughput overhead. WEP is a method to protect Wireless LAN using encryption techniques, but has been shown to suffer from various flaws. In order to make WLAN secure, we propose to build a RF Firewall to be put along the periphery of the "local" area. Also, use locatione estimation techniques to detect any client and then classify them as friends or intruders.
