Segurança em redes IEEE 802.16: uma visão geral

Abstract

In order to promote broad adoption of technologies for wireless networks, in addition to reducing costs and ensuring interoperability, diverse organizations as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) integrate various efforts to standardize. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standard 802.16, also known as Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WIMAX), which defines the air interface and media access methods to Metropolitan Wireless Networks, is being seen, among the technologies which would incorporate the wireless communication in ubiquitous computing environments, as the most promising to access broadband for next generation. This work will present a study about different wireless network standards, including wireless mesh networks and addressing issues of information security and presenting related works that aim to enhance security in these networks.
