摘要：During the last decade, wireless networks have become increasingly popular. Wireless networks are cheap and the main advantage is mobility and lack of cables. However, they are prone to a variety of threats like denial of service, chop-chop attack, replay attacks, man-in-the-middle and data modification. With growing popularity the threats to wireless networks have also increased significantly in the last few years. WLAN security has evolved in the last decade and this evolution occurred in three main phases. This paper gives a general idea of these three security schemes designed to protect wireless networks from such threats. We then present the vulnerabilities of each of these three schemes. We have studied the threats and attacks against each of these mechanisms in great detail. Along with their detailed description, we have also provided possible solutions and preventive measures. Using these preventive measures it is possible to get the best security out of these mechanisms.
