Encryption and Authorization

Much has been publicized in the mass media recently about security problems with wireless LANs. Although it

cannot be denied that some encryption algorithms currently used in 802.11 are flawed, the fact is that security

breaches of a wireless LAN require a deliberate attempt to access the network by an intruder.

The primary issue is that many current users of wireless LAN have opted NOT to turn on security features. If users

were to enable the security features currently available (including only allowing known systems access to the

network and enabling WEP [Wired Equivalent Privacy] or WPA [Wifi Protected Access]) on even the most basic

access points, the intruder's work is much harder. Much as a burglar will stray away from a house whose doors

and windows are securely locked, so too will an attacker tend to move past a wireless network when even the

simplest security measures are enables.
