Wireless Security
Although security is important in any network, the characteristics of wireless networks can make
them vulnerable to attack. Unlike wired networks, which require a physical connection that can
be secured with lock and key, wireless networks require only a radio signal for communication,
and physical barriers do not provide protection. A concern since the introduction of the IEEE
