Abstract

Hackers can decrypt and read data on a wireless link protected by built-in WEP encryption, and they may even be able to access the data on a wired network through a Wi-Fi access point. The authors assess Wi-Fi network security in one city, analyze alternative security techniques, and suggest ways to secure such networks.
