Security and attack methods in wireless local area network high security wireless local area network design

Wireless Networks, by providing easy setup, flexibility, mobility advantages, has been very common to be used nowadays . The number of users and usage areas of wireless networks have been increasing day by day as a result of standardization work going between producers, emerging technologies and increasing transfer speeds. While the wireless networks being common, they have also brought some security concerns along. Today, there are many methods for the security of wireless network and new methods are being developed every day. In this thesis work, Wireless Networks, which is indispensable in our lives, especially Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) have been introduced to users, and wireless local area network standards, advantages and disadvantages have been described. The security risks of wireless local area network and the personal and organizational methods can be taken against these risks are discussed. What kind of weaknesses that some methods used in network security have are explained in detail. Furthermore based on security methods described in the application part, high security wireless local area network for the fictitious 5 floors office in eNSP program of Huawei has been designed.
