keys based on the RC4 alg
If you have selected WPA-PSK or WPA (RADIUS) as the authentication, the
following alternatives are available in the Cipher box:
● TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)
A symmetrical stream encryption method with the RC4 algorithm (Ron's Code
4). In contrast to the weak WEP encry
from a main key. TKIP can also recognize corrupted packets.
● AE S (Advanced Encryption Standard)
Strong symmetrical block encryption method based on the Rijndael algori
that further improves the functions of TKIP.
