Description
Wireless networking technologies based on IEEE 802.11 series of standards are evolving to address many of the security issues that plagued earlier wireless standards. Unfortunately the current standards fail to authenticate management frames and network card addresses, and rely on loosely coupled state machines. This results in serious vulnerabilities that may lead to denial of service, session hijacking, and address masquerading attacks. Until the standards are updated to redress these problems, wireless network deployments must be supported by wireless intrusion detection systems–a challenging and under researched area. This paper presents techniques for improving detection of session hijacking attacks that are passive, computationally inexpensive, reliable, and have minimal impact on network performance. Experimental results are presented to give confidence in the utility of the techniques.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
