How to secure WiFi networks
Intel is working on a new approach to securing WiFi use, specifically how to locate a wireless user and/or device by using distance detection technology. The ultimate goal is to secure WiFi networks better by limiting the locations where users can log-in to corporate networks. An added benefit is that by knowing where a system is located, network admins and security staff can quickly identify hardware issues or help users find a good secure log-in position. Intel's emerging technology tracks how long it takes packets of data to travel to and from a wireless access point. It promises to keep unauthorized users from tapping into home corporate network points and the enterprise network, of course.
