ABSTRACT: There have been various security measures
that deal with data security in wired or wireless network, where these
measures help to make sure that data from one point to another is intact, by
identifying, authenticating, authorizing the right users and also encrypting
the data over the network. Data communication between computers has brought
about countless benefits to users, but the same information technologies have
created a gap, a vulnerable space in the communication medium, where the data
that’s been exchanged or transferred, thereby causing threats to the data.
Especially data on wireless networks are much exposed to threats since the
network has been broadcasted unlike a wired network. Data security in the past dealth
with integrity, confidentiality and ensuring authorized usage of the data and
the system. Less or no focus was placed on the reactive approach or measures
to data security which is capable of responding properly to mitigate an
attacker and avoid harm and also to prevent future attacks. This research is
going to expose the mechanisms and measures of data security in wireless
networks from the reactive security approaches point of view and exposes the
reactive approaches used to enhance data security.
