| This project focuses on wireless network security and in particular, the possible encryption methods for IEEE 802.11 Wireless LANs. We explore the concept of encryption and the different encryption standards such as Data Encryption Standard (DES), Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES), and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). Through this project, we get to understand the randomness of the encryption output and the avalanche effect. We further explored triple encryption of AES using two keys, and brute force attacks with partial knowledge of the key. Finally, we conclude the project with suggestions on security enhancement using AES for IEEE 802.11 Wireless LANs. |
