Threat Analysis and Guidelines for Secure WiFi and WiMAX Network

Wireless communication continues to make in-roads into many facets of our society and gradually becomes more and more ubiquitous. While, in the past, wireless communication (as well as mobility) was largely limited to first and last transmission hops, today’s wireless networks are starting to offer purely wireless, often mobile, and even opportunistically connected operation. The purpose of this paper is to examine threats to the security of the WiMax and WiFi Network technology. And this paper provides proper guidelines for using secure WiFi and WiMAX communication.
