Abstract :
We present a performance study of security overheads in 802.11g networks. At 54 Mbps, the security overhead becomes significant in single client scenarios for many of the popular security protocols. However, we find that the most secure protocol, WPA-2, is also the protocol with the lowest security overhead.
