16.1 Introduction

The Internet has become an essential part of our daily lives. After stepping into technological innovation, everything is connected to the Internet. Connecting a device to the Internet at one's convenience is the primary purpose many governments are dealing with. Many governments are introducing open channels (Wi‐Fi), as setting up wireless broadband is the easiest method of connecting people at high speed without a physical wired connection. [1–4] Wi‐Fi uses radio frequencies to send data between your device and the Internet. The implementation of an open channel (Wi‐Fi) is done by examining the population density of the location at which it is being set up. Wi‐Fi helps to reduce the complexity as well as the mess that is created by wires. When we consider connecting to the Internet via an open channel, we are at massive risk of being attacked anywhere on the globe while using it.

Protecting a user's privacy and confidentiality is the primary responsibility of any organization, whether government or private. When we examine Wi‐Fi architecture, we oberve that it consists of basically three elements. Firstly, the wireless router that transmits the radio signals, [4–7] secondly, the Access Point helps to connect ...
