This paper walks through securing a wireless network. The configuration is focused on securing wireless network traffic for a small network such as a home or dorm room. The security provided is both authentication, allowing only known authorized users access to the wireless network, and encryption, preventing anyone from reading the wireless traffic. The solution described utilizes the open source FreeS/WAN software that implements the Internet Protocol Security (IPSEC) protocol. In addition to the wireless components (wireless NIC in one's PC and wireless access point) one will need a machine running Linux to act as the security gateway.
