Security overhaul for wireless networks

The security of wireless networks is getting a make-over in an attempt to secure them from drive-by hacking attacks.

Respected security firm RSA has found a way to improve the notoriously weak encryption system used by wireless networks.

However, some experts fear that the fix comes too late to save the reputation of wireless networks and the only way to protect them is to use other security systems.

Others say the RSA-improved security will not help all wireless network users as many are still not taking the most basic steps to protect themselves.
