“…Wifi signal interference is a common problem in wireless networks, this interference will occur if the frequency or wifi channel is equal or close to other frequencies (Kumar, 2014). This problem arises when a room or location has 2 or more routers emitting wifi signals, so the router can not specify a fixed and irregular frequency (Farooq, 2017).…”

One of the major changes in the telecommunications sector is the use of wireless technology. But many problems that must be faced when implementing this wireless network, one of which is a security problem. Many people are still questioning about wireless security, and many others believe that wireless security systems using WPA2-PSK are more secure than other wireless security systems. However, based on the results of literature studies conducted, a wireless security system that really can provide more secure security is to use the system security Remote Authentication Dial-In User Servers (RADIUS) server. While at present, many parties still use WPA2-PSK as their wireless security system to avoid the possibility of unauthorized use of internet access by unauthorized people. This study aims to analyze the comparison of the two wireless network security systems above. The test was performed using wireless penetration testing method, and the result stated that 80% of Security Captive Portal system is more secure than WPA2-PSK.

“…Zou et al (Zou, Wang and Hanzo, 2015) explain how an intruder in the wireless medium can penetrate the network without "breaking in the building" as he would in a wired network, by remotely attacking from a distance. Waliullah et al (Waliullah, Moniruzzaman, and Rahman, 2015) (Kumar and Gambhir, 2014). Even though these protocols added a layer of encryption, they failed to remain invulnerable with WEP encryption being the weakest and now obsolete (Naamany, Shidhani, and Bourdoucen, 2006).…”

Transparent password policies are utilized by organizations in an effort to ease the end-user (e.g. customer) from the burden of configuring authentication settings while maintaining a high level of security. However, authentication transparency can challenge security and usability and can impact the awareness of the end-users with regards to the protection level that is realistically achieved. For authentication transparency to be effective, the triptych security -usability -situational awareness should be considered when designing relevant security solutions / products. Although various efforts have been made in the literature, the usability aspects of the password selection process are not well understood or addressed in the context of end-user situational awareness. This research work specifies three security and usability-related strategies that represent the organizations', the end users' and the attackers' objectives with regards to password construction. Understanding each actor's perspective can greatly assist in increasing situational awareness with regards to the authentication controls usage and effectiveness. Furthermore, a case study is presented to evaluate if, and in what way, transparent password policies, that isolate users' involvement can affect the perspective of the end-user with regards to the

“…These attacks can be active or passive. Many Linuxbased arsenals are available on the internet as free source codes thus heartening attacks to take place to break confidentiality, integrity, and availability [4]. The main aim of security for wireless networks is to enhance the core principles such as availability, confidentiality, integrity and mutual authentication [5].…”

-Wireless networks milieu is sprouting into the market, and it is the principal way of accessing the internet. Design and security of these networks for an organization need to be considered to ensure mobility is accomplished. In this study simulation results of 802.1X with flexible authentication via secure tunnelling was performed. Opportunistic key caching which is preferred by many vendors was used transit the session information from the posterior access point to the prior access point to minimize the hand-off latency to allow continuous connectivity to avoid poor network performance. The simulation process was applied throughout the write up of this article without setting up the pricy real lab-test. After the successful modelling of the network, the outcome will be transferred to the real-life environment. The network simulator software was used to illustrate roaming while Cisco Packet Tracer was engaged in the layout design of the wireless nodes. This research applies to network administrators and engineers worldwide to save time and the cost of the network appliances.
