An Incremental Authentication Study using SIM-IP Cards for IEEE 802.11 Wireless LANs

In this paper, we focus on one of the most critical security issues - authentication. Authentication within wireless networks is reviewed. Wi-Fi security weaknesses are illustrated. These drawbacks involve the necessity of designing a new generation of secure wireless systems. In fact, self-control, flexibility, adaptability, autonomy and distribution are the main features to be addressed in a suitable architecture that fulfills modern...
