Abstract: The main objective is to discuss the security features and weakness of IEEE 802.15, IEEE802.11 and IEEE802.16 i.e. Wireless PAN, Wireless LAN and Wireless WAN networks. Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and Wi-Max are the three most widely used wireless networking technologies. These networks are exposed to many types of risks and have various flaws in their respective protocol structure. Bluetooth belongs to a category of Short-range Wireless technologies, Wireless LAN or Wi-Fi is the LAN network we use in our home, offices or buildings etc to provide user the network availability whereas WI-MAX is used on a bigger scale MAN i.e. providing the network coverage on a metro scale through cellular networks to compensate the wired broadband services. In this Paper, study of these popular wireless communication standards in current scenario, evaluating their security features in terms of various metrics. This dissertation focuses on the various types of attacks on these networks and the countermeasures to overcome them.
Keywords: Bluetooth, WiFi, WiMAX, wireless network security, Lan Network, WLAN, WWAN, broadband communication.
