During the urbanization of cities into smart cities, as cited by the Government of India, their mission is to make the cities more citizen-friendly and sustainable. This increases the already high demand of wireless connection available around the clock. Many governments are providing free hotspots with open channels that allows everyone to access without cost. As we know, wireless technology is the easiest form of connection, due to ease of installation and infrastructure. When we talk about smart cities using the Internet, we are concerned as to how to prevent unauthorized access and privacy of the people. Securing privacy and confidentiality of every citizen is the main goal. However, the open channel increases the risk of attacks that can happen to any one of us at any time. In this chapter we discuss some attacks that are threats to privacy and confidentiality of a citizen in an open channel (WI-FI) and, furthermore, we discuss a technique to prevent each and every citizen from these attacks.
