WEP
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) implemented in the Wireless PC Card is based on
the RC4 encryption algorithm. The security keys provided to ensure data
confidentiality are four 10-bit keys for the 64-bit WEP setting and one 26-bit key for
the 128-bit WEP setting. WEP security protects your wireless LAN against
eavesdropping and unauthorized access by intruders.
Security Type — WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is supported by the adapter to
prevent unauthorized access.
Key Type — Choose the Key Type (ASCII or Hex) from the drop-down list.
ASCII: 13 regular text characters. Hex: 26 digits (0~9, A~F) hexadecimal characters.
Authentication Mode — Choose Open or Shared.
Default Key — Choose the Key Number that has the encryption string you prefer. If
you are using a key generated from a passphrase, you must use the same
passphrase and key on each station.
Use Passphrase — Check this box to auto-generate security keys for WEP
encryption. Please note that you must use the same passphrase on all the stations in
your network.
WPA-PSK Encryption Type
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is a stronger wireless security solution than WEP. It
uses a combination of authentication and broadcast/session keys.
