Secure Management Interfaces to
Protect Hot Spot Service
The Challenge:
From mischief-makers and petty theft to serious political activism, the Internet represents an opportunity for illegal activities of many kinds. The past decade has seen online credit card fraud, unpaid service “hitchhiking,” rapidly evolving email worms, and full-scale denial-of-service attacks on major corporations. Without robust security measures, public wireless technology makes the Internet accessible to criminal invasion from outside locked doors. Consumer access points found in the home are not equipped to handle professional hacking attempts to which public networks are susceptible. They are optimized for easy access rather than careful service protection and billing integration.
