During the infancy of the wireless computing age, key defenses and deterrents to wireless attacks were the cost and complexity of methods required to partake in such activities. The current age of easily accessible, inexpensive tools have tilted the balance of price, complexity, and deterrence in favor of the novice wireless attacker. During year 2005, over a billion wireless users are projected (Lauter, 2004). As of this writing, the wireless security discussion is in escalation. This paper is a brief participant of the discussion, and concludes multiple security mechanisms (a hodgepodge, instead of a single solution) provide maximum wireless security. |

What we know today as wireless, or Wi-Fi networking has evolved from the IEEE 802.11 publication of 1997. This standard called for wireless transmission rates of 1 and 2 megabits per second (Mbits/s) to be transmitted on the 2.4Ghz band. In 1999 the 802.11b amendment was published. This amendment called for wireless transmission speeds with a maximum transmission rate of 11 Mbits/s (Wikipedia, n.d.). This was the first version of wireless networking adopted by mainstream users and the business community.
Wireless networking gained more momentum and speed in 2003 when 802.11g was ratified. The G specification calls for maximum speeds of up to 54Mbits/s and is backwards compatible with 802.11b (Wikipedia, n.d.). The increasing speeds made wireless even more attractive to users. As a result businesses began to deploy more wireless networks. Today it is estimated that there are nearly110 million wireless notebooks in use (Khalil, 2004). |
