Kumar Pal Singh, Gaurav Kumar, Abhay N Tripathi · 2015
The Wireless Network has become essential and integral part of our lives. It is being used at extensive level in present scenario and increasing with great speed. Because of its nature and characteristics the wireless networks is more vulnerable in terms of information security. The information in wireless networks is present ubiquitously with lesser security platform [4]. In our previous article we focused the main and important security threats on wireless networks which were termed as CIAAS Pentagon, where CIAAS is expanded as Confidentiality, Integrity, Authentication, Availability, and Secrecy, which was driven from CIA Triad, stands for Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability. In this article we are broadening the horizon of various important security protocols for Wireless Networks. These protocols are studied and analyzed with their working and functionality, importance, and demerits. Finally these security protocols are compared with each other based on some important parameters.
