Abstract : Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is vulnerable to attacks due to the use of radio frequency, which encounters data revelation. If critical and sensitive data is to be transmitted on air, it must be protected and access must be controlled. This paper describes about wireless security in the physical layer, dealing namely with Access points (AP) and a bare minimum wireless security framework specifying the essential and desired components of wireless security . It is recommended to secure wireless LANs with a layered approach. Where best to begin securing the network than starting with the physical layer?
