securing a wireless network
Driven by pressure to facilitate mobile computing, universities are plunging into wireless networking. Although wireless offers convenience and low-cost deployment, it lacks any inherent means of strong security. Common methods of securing wireless networks include WEP, VPN, MAC registration, IEEE 802.1x, and Firewalls. Each method offers some security, but at varying levels of complexity, convenience, cost effectiveness and completeness. Each security method has its own drawbacks.
