The latest IEEE wireless LAN standards have patched the blatant flaws of the WEP algorithm. The cryptographic algorithms have been improved, but there are still interesting system security issues and potential attacks to wireless LANS. This presentation describes new wireless protocols and emerging new security threats. The technologies covered will include 802.11i, WiFi Alliance protocols, FMC architectures and new device enrollment protocols. New system level threats like 'Evil Beacons', 'Countermeasure DoS', and 'NFC touch and steal'will be described.
