Performance Study of 802.11w for Preventing DoS Attacks on Wireless Local Area Networks

Faked deauthentication and disassociation frames introduce serious denial of service (DoS) attacks on wireless local area networks (WLANs), and these attacks include deauthentication flooding (DeauthF) and disassociation flooding (DisassF). IEEE 802.11w standard was introduced to extend 802.11i functionalities for preventing DeauthF and DisassF, and so far there has been no detailed theoretical and experimental study on the performance of...
