Challenges of Wireless Network Security, Trust, and Privacy

Abstract:
Wireless networks have become an integral part of our daily lives, providing convenient
connectivity and enabling mobile devices to access the internet. However, they also present
unique challenges in terms of security, trust, and privacy. This project aims to explore and
analyze the challenges associated with wireless network security, trust, and privacy. It will
examine the vulnerabilities and threats specific to wireless networks, investigate trust-related
issues, and discuss privacy concerns that arise in wireless communication. The project will also
propose potential solutions and best practices to mitigate these challenges and enhance the
security, trust, and privacy of wireless networks.
