MDS-WLAN: Maximal Data Security in WLAN for Resisting Potential Threats

The utmost security standards over Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) are still an unsolved answer in research community as well as among the commercial users. There are various prior attempts in proposing security of WLAN that lacks focus on access point and is found to be quite complex implementation of cryptography. The proposed paper presents a novel, simple, and yet robust technique called as MDS-WLAN i.e. maximal data security in WLAN. The system is evaluated over laboratory prototype and mitigation measures are drawn for resisting wormhole attack, Sybil attack, and rogue access point issue in WLAN. The outcome of the MDS is compared with conventional AES and SHA that shows optimal communication performance and highest data security

Wireless Security Protocol in DNA Bio-Inspired Network

The 21st century communications have evolved rapidly and spread all over the world using the Wi-Fi network which has provided benefits of connection which become more desirable for users to connect to the internet. These benefits are driving the world to a major internet security issues that links to harm their own sensitive data and it resulting for generates encouragement for attackers to drill the legitimate user’s Wi-Fi connection to access to where they want to organize and eavesdropping the data passed to hack them through and revealing it to check whether it is useful for them, hence exploiting packets travelling through the user’s Wi-Fi and using of the powerful of super sniffer techniques by the hackers to break in to such as malware and sniffing software that allows them to crack on the Wi-Fi to steal the data of the user who uses the eavesdropper Wi-Fi without their knowledge, these sniffers open to the hackers access to the user’s data like bank details and other data, it could be using their details for a crime such as find their identity which make the world more concerns about their personal information and they are looking for the latest security protocols to protect their Wi-Fi network. Wi-Fi security introduces a number of vulnerabilities that give hackers an opportunity to cause harm to the Wi-Fi users by stealing information, accessing the Wi-Fi network to compromise the Wi-Fi network as a way to access the enterprise network which is used by some security protocols. This would allow a hacker to use sniffers to access the Wi-Fi enterprise network which is used in coffee shops across the world and other trading premises by probing the SSID of their Wi-Fi. Near by the hackers would be able to crack the security protocols such as WPA or WPA2 which are the latest protocol that users use for their Wi-Fi security keys. In our research we have taken different security methods to secure the Wi-Fi network using the bio-inspired DNA is the idea comed from the Deoxyribonucleic Acid DNA because that DNA have several important features including the random nature of the sequences denoted by alphapet characters A, C, G and T to perform encoded unique DNA sequences that is transmitting the secrets and the DNA encryption comes from the biology of the DNA science of the human and animals. Our research has achieved basic steps which encrypt the user’s static data to DNA sequence to use it for a security access key this work is functioning successfully to DNA bases and experimentation prove in the implementation at chapter 5, and we used the symmetric cryptographic keys in DNA sequence encryption to be similar at both parties with the admin(Wi-Fi) and clients and this is the basic step for this project and it needs to implement the dynamic DNA to make the keys more secure for each user and we have explained how we can match and mismatch these encrypted data and how they need to updated automatically to new security keys with the dynamic DNA sequence in future work [1]. The achievements of our research are proposed to convert user data to a DNA security sequence to use it in the same way as the existing security protocols such as WPA2 but in DNA format with the dynamic key and static user data will keep the security key rubost durig the automatic updates, hence the static data and dynamic data can be updated automatically when adding the dynamic data to the project in future work for the user access key and this can be suitable for multi-users to form an autonomous Wi-Fi connection and DNA security key to mitigating some flaws of that existing security protocols techniques has such as sharing the same security key on the same Wi-Fi network users
