Abstract :
In a growing world of users who seek services of wireless networks for their day-to-day activities, providing secured communication has become a prime and serious concern. But wireless communications are vulnerable to security attacks. Out of many wireless networks, WiFi, known as IEEE 802.11, has attracted millions of users worldwide. Our previous research work has demonstrated a quantum cryptography based approach to distribute the secrete key in 802.11 networks. In the current paper, we attempt to focus on the simulations and the analysis of our implementation of the experimental results about the key distribution solutions to confirm our previous research results.
