Wireless networks are an integral part of day-to-day life for many people, with businesses and home users relying on them for connectivity and communication. This scholarly research will examine the security vulnerabilities and threats in wireless communications. The security requirements of wireless networks including their authenticity, confidentiality, integrity, and availability will be identified and summarized. Different research and surveys have been undertaken by academic researchers on the current trend of wireless security from inception to date. These research findings will be analyzed, and efficient defense mechanisms and countermeasures will be investigated and provided for improving the security of wireless networks.
