CIS600 INTERNET SECURITY PRINCIPLE Fall 2001 --
Mid-course Project Report

Project Description
The increased mobility and cost-effectiveness
make wireless LANs/WANS a popular alternative
today. If internal security controls are weak,
an unauthorized user could easily gain access to
the network through the wireless LAN/WANand then
could gain complete control of the network by
exploiting internal weaknesses. Because it is
easy and good to use wireless LANs/WANS and there
are some threats and risk, we need to protect the
wireless LANs/WANS security.

Progress So Far

• Search information in the internet
• Read some relative books

Main Bottlenecks

• Hard to find both of wireless LAN and WAN
  information, so I need to find the LAN
  information first, then the WAN one
• There are so much data to read and understand
