Abstract

Modern business conditions and lifestyles have led to commercial expansion and the increase in the number of wireless network users and the emergence of smartphones. In parallel with the increase in the number of users, there is an increasing number of those who are not familiar with security issues. Wireless computer networks carry many security problems with them. Laptop computers, smartphones, tablets, and other devices today can not be imagined without an access to a wireless network. However, not all users of wireless networks are well-intentioned. There are malevolent people who will use their knowledge of wireless networks, to compromise data sent across the network. They also steal confidential information sent by users, such as credit card numbers, passwords, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the dangers of using wireless networks. As attackers are always a step ahead, it is necessary to work continuously on the protection and security of wireless users. The aim of this paper is to present security issues in wireless computing networks, weaknesses of the infrastructure itself, and insufficient development of security protocols. The social goal of this work is to elaborate about the real problems or threats that wireless network users encounter. The main two problems of the research, numerous weaknesses and security issues in wireless computing networks, are aimed at raising the level of user awareness and improving the insufficient development of the use of security protocols.
