| Summary: | The security of wireless networks has gained considerable importance due to the rapid proliferation of wireless communications. While computer network heuristics and rules are being used to control and monitor the security of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), mining and learning behaviors of network users can provide a deeper level of security analysis. The objective and contribution of this thesis is three fold: exploring the security vulnerabilities of the IEEE 802.11 standard for wireless networks; extracting features or metrics, from a security point of view, for modeling network traffic in a WLAN; and proposing a data mining-based approach to intrusion detection in WLANs. A clustering- and expert-based approach to intrusion detection in a wireless network is presented in this thesis. The case study data is obtained from a real-word WLAN and contains over one million records. Given the clusters of network traffic records, a distance-based heuristic measure is proposed for labeling clusters as either normal or intrusive. The empirical results demonstrate the promise of the proposed approach, laying the groundwork for a clustering-based framework for intrusion detection in computer networks. | |
