Summary:碩士 === 淡江大學 === 電機工程學系 === 91 === An upper-layer security solution to solve security problem of the wireless network is presented. The IEEE 802.11 standard defines the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) Protocol. The goal of the WEP is to provide data privacy to the wireless network. It is generally believed that the current wireless access points have a big security problem with WEP protocol. To solve this problem, a combination of Linux-based access point and IPSec bridge has been brought up to secure the wireless network. The IPSec bridge can improve the security of wireless connections. The Linux-based access point offers better performance and easier management. It is stable and low cost to ownership. The IPSec bridge system is the best choice for wireless security.
