Study of the Security of WLAN Networks in the Urban Area of Latacunga
Abstract
This article addresses the security of WLAN networks in the urban area of Latacunga, evaluating the preference between open and closed access networks, as well as the differences in security between WEP, WPA and WPA2 protocols. The research, based on a field approach, collected real data to analyze the acceptance and demand for closed networks, revealing a clear preference in the Latacunga population. The results indicated that the WPA2 protocol is the most used in closed networks, standing out for its greater security compared to WEP and WPA. These findings suggest a growing awareness of wireless security and a trend toward more advanced protocols. In conclusion, the research highlights the importance of considering these preferences in the design of security policies for urban networks, taking the city of Latacunga as a reference, promoting more secure practices and encouraging the adoption of more recent encryption measures.
