Major WiFi security Problems and solutoions

Features of WiFi Security:

Some important features of WiFi security which are responsible of reliability of such technology are as follows.

1. Confidentiality
2. Data Integrity
3. Access Control
4. Encryption
5. Association
6. Authentication

Two types of authentications i.e. open system authentication and shared key authentication.

WiFi Security Problems and Solution

There are so many security problems of WiFi or wireless LAN which let the wireless LAN down. Some of the major problems with their solutions are given below

1. Modulation Spectrum Technique:  The technique of spectrum modulation which wads used in the early technology of WiFi has very low security that anyone can use your network and hack your code of activity.

Solution: The solution which scientist suggest for this problem is that we can use latest model or technology of modulation spectrum to protect the WiFi fro such problem.

2. Change Default Passwords
   Some hackers also hack your default password that was assign by manufacturers. Hackers used all the default passwords and hack your WiFi network.

Solution: When you use the WiFi system you should change the default password as soon as possible and set a new password of your choice.

3. Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP):

             Some people also suggest for using Wireless Equivalent Privacy WEP to have a secure working on WiFi network. Sometimes it is very insecure to use WEP technology because it is very easy to break the encryption of WEP.  

Solution: This security problem of WiFi can be reduced by upgrading the wireless encryption to Virtual Private Network (VPN).

4. Crackers:
   One of the major problems of WiFi security are crackers.
   

Solutions:  We can prevent the crackers by using the no. of methods of recovery of WiFi security such as placement of access points in the desired area, as WiFi is the combination of both wireless and the wired devices so, by dividing the both portions in the different segments we can avoid such problem of crackers.

5. Service Set Identifier (SSID):

Another major security problem of WiFi security is breaking of service set identifier SSID. It is very easy and convenient to break the service set identifier SSID by anyone with the help of any kind of sniffing tool.

Solution: This problem of WiFi can be overcome by using the encryption technology such as RADIUS etc. By applying encryption of data we can protect our SSID. 

Future of Wifi security:

             The future of WiFi security will be very bright if we overcome the security problems in the present technologies. And if we protect WiFi from these security problems we have long way to produce great technologies under WiFi networking in future.
