The $4^{th}$ generation mobile communications, through several radio access networks such as WLAN, Bluetooth, UMTS, GPRS, CDMA 1X, and IMT-2000 in the same area offering different type of coverage, will support interactive multimedia services in additions to wider bandwidths, higher bit rates, and service portability. Regardless of various radio access networks, they will also support robust security mechanisms, as well as seamless mobility and common authentication. In this paper, we give an overview of WLAN security and examine its security problems. We also explain the enhanced security schemes, such as port-based authentication, EAP, and IEEE 802.1X. For secure wireless communications, several possible security solutions are offered and evaluated in various respects to improve WLAN security. This paper will make a contribution to provide more secure wireless communications to cellular operators embracing WLAN technology as a means to generate new revenues based on data services.

The interest in wireless LAN security is on the increase owing to a role of high-speed wireless Internet infrastructure of wireless LAN. Wi-Fi has released WPA standard in order to overcome drawbacks of WEP algorithm that is security element of current IEEE 802.11-based wireless LAN system. Pairwise key management and group key management in a mixed-mode which supports both terminals running WPA and terminals running original WEP security are very complicate. In this paper, we analyze flaws in WPA authenticator key management state machine for key distribution and propose the countermeasures to overcome the analyzed problems. Additionally, WPA authenticator key management state machine to which the solutions are applied is described. The reconstructed WPA authenticator key management state machine helps the AP perform efficiently group key exchange and group key update in the mixed-mode.

Today, as wireless communications devices such as laptops, smart phones are generalized, wireless LAN has been widely installed in the corporate office conference rooms, industrial warehouses, Internet-ready classrooms, and even in a coffee shop. Though a wired network can be accessed and attacked only by the physical penetration, the wireless network which can be accessed anywhere within the reach of anyone has relative vulnerability by unauthorized users' attack. To defend these vulnerabilities, the introduction of WIDS / WIPS is required. In this paper, we recognize the limitations of WLAN security technology, review the current technology trends and propose the solutions in the future security problems.

In this paper, we present design and implementation for identification and location tracking techniques for vehicle information terminals in high-speed mobile environment using IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN technology. RSU be installed at a specific point. RSU recognizes it and then aware identification and location tracking for target vehicle when target vehicle that is equipped with information terminals pass near point. Issue of quick recognition using IEEE 802.11 access management frame, issue of weak wireless LAN security and tracking a range of restrictions be raised and we present solutions. Vehicle information terminal, RSU and a server-side GUI-based management program be implemented based on proposed solution. Implementation system be performed experiment at actual road environment and effectiveness be verified.

The sixth generation(6G) wireless communication technology is advancing toward ultra-high speed, ultra-high bandwidth, and hyper-connectivity. With the development of communication technologies, the formation of a hyper-connected society is rapidly accelerating, expanding from the IoT(Internet of Things) to the IoE(Internet of Everything). However, at the same time, security threats targeting IoT devices have become widespread, and there are concerns about security incidents such as unauthorized access and information leakage. As a result, the need for security-enhancing solutions is increasing. In this paper, we implement an autoencoder-based anomaly detection model utilizing real-time collected network traffics in respond to IoT security threats. Considering the difficulty of capturing IoT device traffic data for each attack in real IoT environments, we use an unsupervised learning-based autoencoder and implement 6 different autoencoder models based on the use of noise in the training data and the dimensions of the latent space. By comparing the model performance through experiments, we provide a performance evaluation of the anomaly detection model for detecting abnormal network traffic.
