Synopsis ------------- The current state of wireless LANs and their security
====================================
This talk targets technical minds from a variety of backgrounds, covering topics from why wireless can never achieve wired speeds – or even a decent fraction of their own nominal data rates – through the current state of the art in the technology standards – to the latest wireless security advances with IEEE 802.11w now providing Protected Management Frames and the remaining security issues that this still has not addressed, including current wireless attacks used by the author in the past month, along with the implications of using wireless networks in areas subject to PCI DSS compliance.
