Currently, no international standard addresses wireless network use, although there are technical standards that define the protocols and transmission techniques used. A new part of the network security standard ISO/IEC 27033 is being developed to meet this need. When developed, ISO/IEC 27033-6, Securing wireless IP network access, will deal with the additional security problems of wireless networks.
