Paper Abstract:
|
Wireless networking increases the flexibility in the home, work place and community to connect to the Internet without
being tied to a single location. Wireless networking has rapidly increased in popularity over the last few years whilst egovernment
services have grown dramatically. With the benefits of WiFi, there are extra risks as compared to wired
networks which users should be aware of. Without any security implemented, unauthorised users may steal data or load
malicious code onto the network with the intention of creating havoc. There is particular risk to the citizen of private data
being stolen such as identity. This paper reviews wireless network protocols, investigates issues of reliability, availability
and security for citizens using wireless networks in the community. A case study is presented to illustrate the issues and
importance of implementing secured wireless networks with recommendations. |
