چکیده
This paper evaluates performance impact of WPA2 security protocol on various operating systems in modern wireless networks. For the purpose of experiments IEEE 802.11n wireless network platform was deployed. Metrics of throughput and jitter were obtained during the generation of TCP and UDP data flows in different security scenarios. Experimental results showed that IPv4 operating systems achieve higher throughput values than IPv6 systems under the same conditions within the IEEE 802.11n wireless network. Results further indicate that WPA2 security protocol reduces value of throughput and increases jitter in wireless networks.

An efficient symmetric polynomial-based key establishment protocol for wireless sensor networks
An essential requirement for providing secure services in wireless sensor networks is the ability to establish pairwise keys among sensors. Due to resource constraints on the sensors, the key establishment scheme should not create significant overhead. To date, several key establishment schemes have been proposed. Some of these have appropriate connectivity and resistance against key exposure, ...
متن کاملThe Performance of the IEEE 802.11i Security Specification on Wireless LANs
Wireless networks are popular due to the mobility afforded by having connectivity without wires. Wireless networks are inherently vulnerable and the IEEE 802.11i security standard was established to address security. Previous research has evaluated the effects of WEP encryption and its variants on wireless network performance. However no previous work has evaluated the effects of the 802.11i sp...
متن کاملWPA vs. WPA2: Is WPA2 Really an Improvement on WPA?
Significant weaknesses in the Wired Equivalency Protocol (WEP) led to the creation of the Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) Wired Local Area Network (WLAN) security protocol and the amendment to that protocol, WPA2. Certified by the WiFi Alliance in 2001, WPA[1] was superseded by WPA2 in 2006[1] as being mandatory for usage with the IEEE 802.11i standard for specifying security for wireless networks...
