Abstract

The security of WLAN is becoming a bottleneck for its further applications. At present, many standard organizations and manufacturers of WLAN are trying to solve this problem. However, owing to the serious secure leak in IEEE 802.11 standard, it is impossible to utterly solve the problem by simply adding some remedies. Based on the analysis on the security mechanism of WLAN, this paper takes the advantages of latest techniques of WLAN security, and presents a solution to WLAN security. The solution will make preparation for the further combination of WLAN and Internet
