The more you use the wireless network resource, the better should be the treatment related to its safety aspect. As the security level increases, the amount of information transmitted between the equipment decreases. This thesis aims to analyze the performance of WLAN network with the implementation of WEP and WPA / TKIP security protocols in an environment that uses applications whose characteristic is to generate small packets on the network. The LanTraffic TM software is used to generate traffic and also to capture the transmission rate in Kbps that flows through the stations. Three scenarios are simulated varying in the distance between the equipments. For each scenario, a comparative study was made and the WLAN behavior without the security resource analyzed, then it was analyzed with the WEP fitted and finally with the WPA/TKIP configured. To develop the experiments it was used a WLAN network in a controlled environment in the Laboratory Research on Radio System in PUC Campinas. Therefore, there is not external interference in the signal transmitted by equipments. / A utiliza??o da tecnologia de rede sem fio tem crescido ultimamente motivado principalmente pelo pre?o dos equipamentos, facilidade de instala??o, manuten??o da rede e amplia??o das t?cnicas de seguran?a. Quanto mais se utiliza o recurso de rede sem fio maior tem de ser o tratamento em rela??o ao aspecto de seguran?a. A medida que aumenta o n?vel de seguran?a, decresce a quantidade de informa??o transmitida entre os equipamentos. Esse trabalho visa analisar o desempenho de rede WLAN(Wireless Local ?rea Network) com a implementa??o dos protocolos de seguran?a WEP(Wired Equivalent Privacy) e WPA/TKIP(WI-FI Protected Access / Temporal Key Integrity Protocol). ? utilizado o software LanTrafficTM para gerar tr?fego na rede e tamb?m para capturar a taxa de transmiss?o em Kbps trafegados entre as STAs. S?o emulados tr?s cen?rios variando a dist?ncia entre os equipamentos. Para cada cen?rio foi confeccionado um comparativo e analisado o comportamento da WLAN configurado sem seguran?a, com o WEP habilitado e finalmente com o WPA/TKIP configurado. Para executar os experimentos utilizou-se uma rede WLAN no laborat?rio de pesquisa em sistema de r?dio (LP-SiRa) da PUC Campinas em um ambiente controlado. Com isso n?o h? interfer?ncias na transmiss?o dos sinais emitidos pelos equipamentos Ou seja, sem interfer?ncia externa no sinal transmitido entre os equipamentos.
