[It looks really good and it is high time that such document is published to create more awareness about 'wireless insecurity'. WEN]
The Computer Security Division (CSD) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST - http://www.nist.gov/) has posted draft Special Publication SP 800-48 Wireless Network Security: 802.11, Bluetooth, and Handheld Devices on the Computer Security Resource Center (CSRC - http://csrc.nist.gov/) web site for public comment (or go to the CSRC Drafts publications page: http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/drafts.html). The draft document examines the benefits and security risks of 802.11 Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN), Bluetooth Ad Hoc Networks, and Handheld Devices such as Personal Digital Assistants (PDA). The document also provides practical guidelines and recommendations for mitigating the risks associated with these technologies.
