Abstract
The each time increasing “Parking lot” attacks to 802.11 WLAN based wireless networks, are evidence of the security backbones vulnerability. On the other hand, 802.15 Bluetooth networks have more security engineering support because they have been better sponsored. This is the reason why Bluetooth is a wireless transmission standard more reliable than 802.11 WLAN. Despite the fact that the strength of WLAN (802.11) cannot be compared with that of PAN (802.15 Bluetooth) networks, for they were created for different purposes, in both cases security is an important factor and it is on this that I will prove my ability to find an optimum solution. This document proposes an algorithm to guide network security engineers to make an optimum implementation of a security mobile agent for authentication of 802.11 wireless
networks called “Slimmer”.
