Due to the unprecedented mobility, convenience, and flexibility that the technology offers, homes, businesses, and enterprises are deploying wireless networks in increasing numbers. Unfortunately, wireless networks may also act as an open door in the network security perimeter, allowing nearby attackers to eavesdrop on confidential communications, break into the wired network, or cause other serious problems.
