- Abstract
Networking technologies have made the various computer services accessible and convenient for their users. In last one decade, the usage of sophisticated personal gadgets and Internet have increased manifolds, which in turn have changed the way of doing the official as well as personal activities. These gadgets are highly powerful and portable, and can be used for activities like communication, entertainment, business and banking etc. When the users access the personal or financial information via networks then various security issues may arise, so it is necessary for every online information system to provide its users certain security services like confidentiality, integrity, authenticity and availability. Authentication is a core component of every security model. As the security needs for accessing various online accounts are different and there exists different transmission technologies also, so a variety of authentication methods exists to provide the authentication services. There exists no single authentication technology that can meet the diverse authentication requirements. The broadcasting nature of wireless networks makes them entirely different from their wired counterparts so, the authentication methods used in the wired networks can't be deployed directly in wireless networks. There are many authentication technologies, which have been devised and developed specifically for WLANs. In this paper study of various authentication methods used in WLANs have been done.
