Hi,
I am a MIS student, and I am researching on Wi- Fi security for my project (in lieu of a masters thesis).I have to conduct some expert interviews as secondary data in order to support my findings.
If someone could answer some or all of my questions I would really appreciate it.I am posting the questions in this posting and also attaching them as a word doc.
Thank you, I really appreciate your time and effort
You can reach me at my email (gk759@yahoo.com)
My questions:
1.What were the hurdles faced while creating a wireless network in terms of security? what kind of security policies did you use?Were there any special security considerations taken in to account?
2. Are there any special monitoring techniquesfor "network abuse"? For e.g. if a user has cloned a MAC address, are there any special techniques to detect these intruders?Are there any methods available to detect rogue AP's?
3. Do you think VPN is the most secure method of accessing wireless network? What are the vulnerabilities of VPN?
4.Are encryption techniques feasible?(considering the weakness in WEP)
5.What kind of security improvements or standards would you like to see in the future?
Please feel free to add any more comments that you have or feel should be addressed with regard to security.
