While that does seem to be a common concept in the enterprise - due mostly to the casual user not being able to see the scan for the network and "attempt association" - even a semi-sophisticated user with a sniffer can get all the appropriate information without too much trouble. More security - that is a stretch - less hassle on the network is more likely. The only things that actually provide security are encryption techniques (WEP, AES etc...) - On a side note - I choose (at home) to not use WEP but also not to broadcast - if someone really wants to hack in just to get on the internet - fine - but don't want the casual guy next door to be using my network all the time unless he is invited... Enough "Security" for me since everything else on the network is behind a firewall and/or Windows password protected (if you trust their security) Have a nice weekend.
