摘要：In today’s world most organizations are moving from wire-connected LAN’s to wireless LAN’s. WLANs are changing the landscape of computer networking. Wireless communications are inherently more open to attack than wired data transfer, as its physical layer is not contained in the wire. Wireless LANs require strict user authentication, data privacy and data integrity to prevent unauthorized access to network resources and protect data from modification or destruction. Many standard setting bodies are working on the problem of wireless security. Recently new protocols have been proposed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) for protecting client authentication by running the protocols in a secure tunnel wherein all data required for authenticating the user is well encrypted. The purpose of this thesis is to implement one such proposed security protocol - PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol) on Microsoft Windows.
