Description
The security boundary of a Wireless LAN (WLAN) extends from the client device to the network boundary where network access is controlled. This boundary represents the portion of the network most vulnerable to attack and must be protected. Within this boundary there must be two distinct, but related, security protection mechanisms: authentication and data-in-transit encryption. These protections ensure access control and protection from eavesdropping for both the WLAN system and the DoD network enclave. Wireless network authentication is not the function of the firewall. This is the function of the wireless access point.
