Security Basics: Re: 802.11i research papers

["Mitchell Rowton" <mrowton () bdo com>]

Some of my favorite sites / papers.


This paper focuses on a description and analysis of the security
standards described in the IEEE 802.11 and 802.1x standards, as well as
some of the inherent problems with the security mechanisms

I am doing a research project on 802.11i and am looking for good
research
papers on the subject. I have found it difficult to try and wade
through
white papers that are essentially advertisements to find any academic,
informative papers.

Specifically, I am looking at how 802.11i has addressed problems found
in
WEP and other security features that the protocol has implemented.

If anyone knows of any good papers or of any websites that collect
academic
and research rather than propoganda papers, I would love to visit them.
If
you know of any other source of info on this topic it would be helpful
as
well.

Thanks for the help!
Andrew Blair
