Communication is the basic need and back-bone for development of any society. Societal development and advancement in the electronics & technology led to the development of Wireless based Systems & has become vital for the modern existence. Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is the best example for the same. Popularity of the Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) are in increasing trend as they are fast, flexible, cost effective, and easy to use. Application & uses of the WLAN has led some security challenges also & choice of security protocol is one of the typical tasks. In general, any information system incorporating wireless technology should fulfil some basic security objectives. The typical taxonomy of security properties can be described by confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA).In wireless communication, data rate is increasing drastically due to advancement in technology at a massive scale. In this paper, we review and summarize IEEE 802.11 protocol architecture, component of WLAN, and security issues in WLAN etc.
