Abstract

This paper presents a brief description of the wireless networks, their advantages over wired networks and security issues requiring immediate attention. It is then followed by 802.11 architecture and various services offered by it and then the motivation for conducting the research. Thereafter, a problem statement outlining the inherent flaws in the present IEEE 802.11i standard is presented. Hence, a method is proposed to overcome the denial of service using the handshaking approach. Finally, the results are discussed and concluded.
