Authentication And Encryption For Wireless Users Only - Brother MFC-8880DN User Manual

Authentication and encryption for wireless users only

Authentication method
The Brother machine supports the following methods:
Open system
Wireless devices are allowed to access the network without any authentication.
Shared key
A secret pre-determined key is shared by all devices that will access the wireless network. The
Brother machine uses the WEP keys as the pre-determined key.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK
Enables a Wi-FI Protected Access Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK), which enables
the Brother wireless machine to associate with access points using TKIP for WPA-PSK or AES
for WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK (WPA-Personal).
LEAP
Cisco LEAP (Light Extensible Authentication Protocol) has been developed by Cisco Systems,
Inc. and enables the Brother wireless product to associate with access points using CKIP
encryptions.
EAP-FAST
EAP-FAST (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Flexible Authentication via Secured Tunnel)
has been developed by Cisco Systems, Inc. which uses 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
MS-CHAPv2 is used for Provisioning, and the method of EAP-FAST corresponding to
second phase authentication method.
• EAP-FAST/MS-CHAPv2
Method of EAP-FAST corresponding to CCXv4 that uses MS-CHAPv2 for the inner
method.
• EAP-FAST/GTC
Method of EAP-FAST corresponding to CCXv4 that uses GTC for the inner method.
Encryption methods
Encryption is used to secure the data that is sent over the wireless network. The Brother machine
supports the following encryption methods:
WEP
By using WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), the data is transmitted and received with a secure
key.
