Traditionally, conventional networks similar to LAN Network, had provided limited access to the users and had issues with cables, like manually being connected to a computer from dial ups or getting into cross-connections which leads to loss of data, information leakage and/or data being misused. On the other hand, wireless networks through WLAN are easy to deploy and are widely used in different areas by public and private users. Even though wireless networks follow strong cryptography, due to their provision of ease of access, they have security and privacy issues. This ease of access gives rise to security threats by unethical miscreants like hackers, who steal sensitive information. This paper mainly focuses on perimeters of maintaining confidentiality, integrity and authentication to avoid the security threats and risks by concentrating on the basics of security protocol layers, following algorithms and reviewing techniques to minimize the wireless network security issues. Thank you Sir.
