NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 6) which is identical with ISO/IEC 27033-6 : 2016 ‘Information technology - Security techniques - Network security - Part 6: Securing wireless IP network access’ issued by International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) jointly was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendation of the Information Systems Security and Biometrics Sectional Committee, and approval of the Electronics and Information Technology Division Council.

This Indian Standard is published in six parts. The other parts in the series are:

Part 1 Overview and concepts

Part 2 Guidelines for the design and implementation of network security

Part 3 Reference networking scenarios - Threats, design techniques and control issues

Part 4 Securing communications between networks using security gateways

Part 5 Securing communications across networks using virtual private networks (VPNs)

The text of ISO/IEC Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminologies and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker, while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
