Abstract
The aim of this project to design the secured Wireless LAN to the campus to enable the campus users to access the electronic resources and Internet by use of the mobile computing device such as tablet pc. Smart phones, MacBook etc. The aim is fulfilled by defining the objectives related to network design and c
onsideration of the security enforcement by use of the wireless encryption protocols and wifi protected access configuration setup as per the IEEE 802.1x standards with the wireless devices. Campus wired network should not be secured by the methodologies used to secure the wireless network of campus. In this report the design and implementation of wireless and wire network infrastructure to the campus along with the implementation of WPA and WPA2 security as per the IEEE 802.11/b/g/n are completed. All the steps to design the network and configure the WPA and WPA2 securities are considered and derailed.
Project Introduction
In 1969, first wireless local area network was professionally developed by the Hawaii university. In 1971, the wireless network was taken as operational network. The commercial use of wireless local area network was started from year 1988 and now it is very common to the institutions and university to provide flexible and scalable local area network environment to students, staffs and faculties in the campuses. The development of wireless local area network brought the attention to IEEE to standardize the wireless local area network devices and protocols for the better short distance shared computing through the wireless local area network [1[.
Wired local area network and wireless local area network coexist together and this type heterogeneous local area network is considered as the better information system for computing and information sharing.
Wireless local area network is more susceptible to the security vulnerabilities and risks of security attacks. These issues of security attacks are more prevalent with the wireless local area network. IEEE 802.1x standard specified the different types of security measures and control to the security threats associated with the wireless network. These security frameworks for wireless local are Wireless Encryption Protocol (WEP), Wifi Protected Access (WPA), WPA2 etc. These all security specifications are standardized under the given specification of IEEE 802.1x.
A wireless local area network design requires the backbone wired network to provide the backbone such as Internet, Server services to the wireless local area network users within the boundary of 100 meter diameter [2]. To design wireless local area network, wireless router or access point is required to be configured and setup with the wired network.
A wireless local area network works under the Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band. This ISM band either operates with 2.4 GHz band or 4.8 Ghz band. These frequency bands are free and no licensing is required.
WPA and Security Analysis
IEEE 802.1x specification provides the security standards and the protocols to provide the security of wireless local area network. WPA and its advanced version WPA2 are the main security standards for authentication...
