Technology Comparisons

This chapter looks at how 802.11b stacks up against other wireless standards
and specifications. From a security standpoint, it is essential to
understand the literal nuts and bolts of the 802.11 standard in comparison
to both Bluetooth, HomeRF, and SWAP. We see how all three protocols
offer security measures to protect data and privacy, but we also see
exactly how effective these measures are and the type of controversy
they experience when used for mission-critical business applications.
