Point-to-Point Wireless Application Security

When you think of security, it is important to conceptualize how to
maintain a secure connection from the point of the user to the point of
the server. The first action in creating a secure wireless infrastructure
is to focus on secure remote access.
Secure remote access means creating secure communication so that
you can exchange various identifying items securely, including passwords,
cryptographic keys, session keys, and challenge-response dialogs
(Figure 6.1).
Wireless environments are vulnerable to the same types of denial of
service (DoS) and flooding attacks as wired networks. Hackers try to
obtain access to your internal wireless infrastructure to initiate these
attacks that essentially make your wireless infrastructure collapse so
that you are not able to serve your users effectively.
