Performance Measurements on Various Wi-Fi Security Options
Derya Yiltas-Kaplan, Hassan Abdi Mohamed · 2015
Summary The security issues gain more importance while the usage rates of wireless networks grow rapidly. There are several security mechanisms that distinguish the protocols from each other based on their specific characteristics such as encryption and authentication methods. These mechanisms and also the protocols themselves affect the network performance like the number of user applications running on the network. The most vital subject required at that point is the performance measurements through some metrics. In this study, we handle several Wi-Fi security protocols with different encryption options and represent their effects on the network traffic values. On this purpose, we clarify how the protocols can be compared due to the metrics of bandwidth and throughput.
