To secure real-time communication in wireless LANs it is pertinent to implement real time cryptographic services in software or hardware. In this paper we evaluate the use of software based inline encryption algorithms for wireless LANs that are implemented in the Layer Service Provider as de ned by WinSock 2 for Windows. The evaluated encryption algorithms run on each PC that is part of the wi...

This paper presents an overview and analysis of Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) and its place in securing wireless LANs. A number of specific widely used EAP methods are examined and evaluated for their advantages and susceptibility to types of attack. Next we propose suitable EAP methods for wireless technologies beyond LANs, including RFID and WiMAX. After analyzing requirements for ...

ieee 802.11e standard is proposed to support quality of service (qos) in wireless local area networks (wlans). the distributed access method of 802.11e, enhanced distributed channel access (edca), prioritizes traffic generated by delay-sensitive applications by increasing probability to access medium for this type of traffic. edca resets the contention window (cw) of mobile stations to a minimu...

We have developed and implemented novel solutions that provide Quality of Service (QoS) support for voice, video and data applications in wired and wireless LANs that can also follow standards such as Ethernet IEEE 802.3 or wireless IEEE 802.11. Since our solutions can transform existing legacy LANs to an environment that provides the bandwidth, time-delay and other requirements needed to provi...
