Modern trends in Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11 networks security

This work treats the matters of wireless networks, Wi-Fi. The paper describes the various principles of coding, such as WEP, WPA and WPA2. At first the WEP security method is analyzed with the view of the fact that it doesn´t meet contemporary safety requirements, further its successor WPA, namely TKIP and AES authentication methods, and last but not least WPA2 which nowadays serve as a safety standard. The work assesses the safety risks of individual security methods and makes several recommendations to achieve maximum security for wireless networks. In the work a commercially available hardware and for free dissemination available software (Open Source) are used
