The main objective in this research is to improve VirtualWiFi driver to connect any access points or wireless networks. As it mentioned in this research, the latest version of VirtualWiFi were released by Microsoft research centre in 2006 and it can only support simple WEP. Due to vulnerabilities of WEP, this research proposed new VirtualWiFi that can communicate with wireless networks which support WEP and/or WPA as their wireless security. Implementing dynamic WEP by configuring periodic time of key changing and implementing WPA by configuring TKIP algorithms have done in Vir- tualWiFi source codes.

To state the overall contribution of this research it can be said that adding Virtual- WiFi as a new service in Windows XP which can connect to more than one wireless network with any secure algorithms, has been reached.

Although using WPA instead of WEP and the advantages of WPA, it can be cracked. Cracking it is also more time consuming and needs complete and comprehen- sive dictionary. Implementing WPA2 and AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) en- cryption algorithm and 802.1 x-based authentications can be assumed as future works to

70 make this driver more secure. Using this level of security needs time to apply which will be the main challenge in comparison of switching time in VirtualWiFi driver.
