The growth in the variety and use of wireless networks has greatly increased the urgency to identify and devise security approaches to protect them. In this article, we first propose a secure assisted handover decision. This mechanism is carried out while the mobile station (MS) moves between different domains, to allow users to fulfil an effective and reliable handover as well as a secure access to services offered by the wireless local area network. Second, we propose a new scheme, called Selective Pipelined Packet Marking for WLAN Networks (SPMW). This scheme is used for IP traffic source identification for tracing denial of service (DoS) attacks. The approach follows the IP traceback approach proposed in wired networks. Our analysis study shows that the traffic overhead introduced by the traceback scheme does not affect the network performance.
