"Wireless LAN Security"

Abstract

Security and privacy play an important role in wireless applications. While many of the basic requirements can be met by techniques similar to those employed in wired applications, challenges and new opportunities remain.

In the panel discussion we will not only stress these issues in general but also address recent developments with respect to standards such as Bluetooth and 802.11.
