Abstract
This paper aims to describe a solution to improve wireless network security protocols WEP and WPA based on a modified RC4 algorithm for encryption, and based on initialization vector (IV) with secret key for a session key exchange, and new mutual authentication mechanism.
Highlights
Wireless communications offer organizations and users many benefits such as portability and flexibility, increased productivity, and lower installation costs
This paper aims to describe a solution to improve wireless network security protocols WEP and WPA based on a modified RC4 algorithm for encryption, and based on initialization vector (IV) with secret key for a session key exchange, and new mutual authentication mechanism
Many solutions have been proposed for the remedy of the WEP and WPA encryption, key exchange and mutual authentication problems
Summary
Wireless communications offer organizations and users many benefits such as portability and flexibility, increased productivity, and lower installation costs. Risks are inherent in any wireless technology. The loss of confidentiality and integrity and the threat of denial of service attacks are risks typically associated with wireless communications. WEP and WPA are designed to protect, but they still have weaknesses discussed in [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]
