As discussed in this paper, most of the security vulnerabilities in Wi-Fi networks can be addressed with the available protocols and security mechanisms and a reasonably secure Wi-Fi network with an acceptable level of risk for most enterprises can be deployed. To achieve this, IT organizations need a mechanism that can analyze end-to-end security at each stage of a WLAN's lifecycle: design, planning, implementation, and maintenance. Now, a decade after WLAN technology first became generally available, they have exactly that - the Bell Labs Security Framework, which facilitates secure network design and comprehensive end-to-end security analysis. The Bell Labs Security Framework was developed as an architectural framework for assessing and achieving end-to-end security for distributed applications.
