Regarding to this study, an extensive review of secure and fast handovers schemes were studied with the aim of solving security problems and authentication server computational overhead experienced in the existing schemes in wireless fidelity based networks. The complete verification scheme outlined in IEEE 802.11i network is unsuitable to be deployed so as to support the user's seamless mobility. The contribution of this paper suggested a robust delivery of handoff keys for internetworking and intranetworking schemes with a dedicated trust relationship model existing in diverse domains. Inter-access point protocol was used to transfer handover credentials in an intra-domain network. Likewise, an inter-access controltunnelling protocol with opportunity key caching and pairwise master key caching are suggested for inter-domain security context-transfers. Man-in-the-middle attacks are tasked to break mutual authentication for wireless networks. This paper pinpoints out that the suggested fast handover authentication scheme in our study outperforms the scheme of Wang and Prasad and other schemes mentioned in the extant studies. The proposed authentication scheme prevents replay attacks, masquerading and message modification.

“…Using the default SSID [22] for the wireless access point is discouraged by security experts as it offers hints to an attacker regarding the equipment manufacturer or internet provider. This information can then be exploited in order to use default credentials on forcing access to the network.…”

This paper presents a study of wireless network security and statistics in Romania aimed at raising public awareness on security issues and highlighting the prevalence of known vulnerabilities in commercial equipment. The data used for the study consist of wireless network broadcast data acquisitioned by the technique of war-driving. In order to ensure a thorough overview, the data collected includes more than 100000 unique wireless networks gathered in Bucharest, major urban areas and the surrounding rural areas. The results of the study cover security protocol usage, the percentage in which known vulnerabilities are still deployed in wireless networks and statistics regarding channel and band usage, common SSIDs in Romania, top equipment manufacturers and the situation of provider wireless access points. The study also shows that provider wireless access points on average offer better security than private networks.

Frame resolution and physical layer (PHY) protocol type detection are the basis of research and development of intrusion prevention systems for IEEE 802.11 wireless network. Aiming at the problems which cannot be solved by the specifications export, this paper proposed a MAC frame analytical method and a PHY protocol type detection algorithm based on parsing the IEEE 802.11packets captured by the library Libpcap. The packet structure and the length of the frame preamble (18 or 26 bytes) are presented. Then the methods of transforming byte-order and resolving sub-fields are given. A detection algorithm of PHY protocol type is proposed based on the experiments and examples are given to verify these methods. This work can be a reference for the R & D related to link layer frame analysis.
