Encryption Methods - Brother MFC-8690DW User Manual

LEAP
Cisco LEAP (Light Extensible Authentication Protocol) has been developed by Cisco Systems, Inc. which
uses a user ID and password for authentication.
EAP-FAST
EAP-FAST (Extensible Authentication Protocol-Flexible Authentication via Secured Tunnel) has been
developed by Cisco Systems, Inc. which uses a user ID and password for authentication, and symmetric
key algorithms to achieve a tunneled authentication process.
The Brother machine supports the following inner authentications:
• EAP-FAST/NONE
EAP-FAST authentication for CCXv3 networks. Does not use an inner authentication method.
• EAP-FAST/MS-CHAPv2
EAP-FAST authentication for CCXv4 networks. Uses MS-CHAPv2 for the inner authentication method.
• EAP-FAST/GTC
EAP-FAST authentication for CCXv4 networks. Uses GTC for the inner authentication method.

Encryption methods

Encryption is used to secure the data that is sent over the wireless network. The Brother wireless machine
supports the following encryption methods:
None
No encryption method is used.
WEP
By using WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), the data is transmitted and received with a secure key.
TKIP
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) provides per-packet key mixing a message integrity check and
rekeying mechanism.
AES
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is the Wi-Fi
CKIP
The original Key Integrity Protocol for LEAP by Cisco Systems, Inc.
