Security evaluation in wireless networks

Abstract

In the last years, the breathtaking development of technology has had as principal focus the growth of mobile and wireless devices. The last is more predominant in the market due to the apogee of the wireless networks. These have also experienced a rapid progress thanks to how they have been massively used in the public and private sector. On another side, the risks these kinds of networks face have increased, putting at stake the integrity, availability and confidentiality of the information that runs through them. It is necessary to establish a security evaluation methodology applied to wireless networks, which consider the form and correct element’s selection to be employed.
