In computer networks, security is one of the most important aspects of protecting a network from various attacks. Especially in wireless networks, safety Can prevent unauthorized data access as well as save systems from potential threats. Security protocols in wireless networks help ensure the security process. Many protocols are designed to provide wireless network security that includes wired equivalent privacy (WEP) protected Wi-Fi access (WPA) and Protected Wi-Fi 2 access (WPA2). In this research This document discusses well-known wireless network security protocols, i.e. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA2), providing comparative analysis in terms from strengths and weaknesses from each protocol. AT adding to the one, that, in paper evaluates each protocol in terms from authentication as well as encryption mechanisms as well as recommends in best wireless safety protocol per a corporate network, which the helps in net from unauthorized attacks.
