Abstract

There is no such area where we can say that technology is not implemented. It is just like driving a car without steering. At present we have the internet and the new wireless technologies like WI-FI, WiMax, Bluetooth, etc. which are making information and communication technology sen/ices accessible and affordable to all.

Wi-Fi has become a "fascination, a glimpse of the future" of the internet. The growth of broadband network is taking over the cable-based communication. This tool is intergraded with TVs, Mobiles, systems, etc. In the near future no city or no human being lives without WiFi. Already some cities are providing wireless net facilities to their citizens at low-cost or free of cost. For example, Pune is the first city in India to provide WiFi facility to its citizens. As per NASSCOM prediction, WiFi may become so widespread that one can access the net just anywhere at any time without using wires. This article tells us about the WiFi and the security measures to be taken by the individuals to safeguard their data from unauthorized users.
