WIRELESS SECURITY
Wireless networks and wireless communications technology have the potential to make universal Internet use a reality, which will clearly lead to global connectivity, roaming, and ubiquitous communications. Meanwhile, the risk of threats to security grows and the need for secure wireless networks becomes of paramount concern. In this course, students gain the skills to defend against attacks and maintain security within wireless networks. Also, they will understand weakness in existing networks and design and configure a cost-effective security solution.
