Abstract
A method for increasing security of plaintext authentication in a wireless local area network (WLAN) is provided. The method includes steps of: establishing a basic service set in the WLAN; establishing a blank learning table for saving identities of faked users; generating the identities of the faked users according to a random hexadecimal string to protect identities of true users; performing a faked extensible authentication protocol process according to the generated identities; determining whether the learning table should be updated; and updating the learning table if the learning table should be updated.
