Current Problem:
With current implementations of wireless networks there are a lot of weaknesses.
This causes a problem of security vulerablities. A person with a wireless card on
their computer could track down important information about the network and users
just by watching packets across the network. Due to this problem there is a need
for a secure network that will allow users to transparently log on to a network
without any loss of accessibility.
Project Objective:
Our objective was to build a wireless basestation using off the shelf equipment.
This basestation will allow a user to login to our server using a wireless connection.
The user will use a user name and password as given to them on a remote secure server
used for authentication purposes. In our case it was the Ohio University mail server.
This way any person with a Oak ID and password is able to log on to our server without
and worries of security breaches.
