Wireless Lan Security in a Campus Environment
Overview The recent prevalence of wireless LANs has required many organizations to reassess their views regarding computer network security policies. Whereas a wired infrastructure gives some obvious physical access limitations to a network and some degree of privacy, the shared medium of radio creates equally obvious questions regarding how to limit access to this network. This paper provides a synopsis of the security mechanisms available for 802.11b wireless networks, and how these relate to academic institutions. In particular, it describes and assesses some standard methods for implementing access control and privacy in the wireless LAN arena.
