  • Page 13: Wep (Wired Equivalent Privacy)

    Wireless Security Types WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) The privacy service uses a RC4(Ron’s Code 4) based encryption scheme to encapsulate the payload of the 802.11 data frames, called Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). WEP is a shared key only. It uses the symmetrical RC4 algorithm and a PRNG (Pseudo-Random Number Generator).

  • Page 14: 802.1X

    802.1X The IEEE 802.1X offers an effective framework for authenticating and controlling user traffic to a protected network, as well as dynamically varying encryption keys. 802.1X ties a protocol called EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) to both the wired and wireless LAN media and supports multiple authentication methods, such as token cards, Kerberos, one-time passwords, certificates, and public key authentication.

  • Page 15: Wpa

    An effort by the Wi-Fi Alliance to overcome the security limitations of WEP. WPA is subset of the IEEE's 802.11i wireless security specification. Key to WPA is the use of Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) to bolster encryption of wireless packets. In addition, WPA will use 802.1x and EAP authentication, based on a central authentication server, such as RADIUS.

  • Page 16: Wpa-Psk (Wpa Pre Shared Key)

    WPA-PSK (WPA Pre Shared Key) One variation of WPA is called WPA Pre Shared Key or WPA-PSK for short. WPA-PSK is a simplified but still powerful form of WPA most suitable for home Wi-Fi networking. To use WPA-PSK, a person sets a static key or "passphrase" as with WEP. But, using TKIP, WPA-PSK automatically changes the keys at a preset time interval, making it much more difficult for hackers to find and exploit them.

  • Page 17: Wpa2(Aes) Advanced Encryption Standard

    WPA2(AES) Advanced Encryption Standard IEEE 802.11i, also known as WPA2, is an amendment to the 802.11 standard specifying security mechanisms for wireless networks. The WPA2 standard supersedes the previous security specification, Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), which was shown to have severe security weaknesses. WPA2. 802.11i makes use of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) block cipher;...

  • Page 21: Wds(Wireless Distribution System)

    WDS(Wireless Distribution System) WDS operation as defined by the IEEE802.11 standard has been made available. Using WDS it is possible to wirelessly connect devices, and in doing so extend a wired infrastructure to locations where cabling is not possible or inefficient to implement. Please refer to Appendix C for more information. To create a WDS link the only thing that is needed, is to configure the access points at one end of the WDS link with the MAC address of the PC card in the access point at the other end of the link.

  • Page 24: Advanced Wireless Setting

    Advanced Wireless Setting Beacon Interval When a wirelessly networked device sends a beacon, it includes with it a beacon interval, which specifies the period of time before it will send the beacon again. The interval tells receiving devices on the network how long they can wait in low-power mode before waking up to handle the beacon. Network managers can adjust the beacon interval, usually measured in milliseconds (ms) RTS threshold (Request-to-Send Threshold) The RTS threshold specifies the packet size of an RTS transmission.

    DTIM interval A DTIM interval, also known as a Data Beacon Rate, is the frequency at which an access point's beacon will include a DTIM. This frequency is usually measured in milliseconds (ms) Preamble Type A preamble is a signal used in wireless environment to synchronize the transmitting timing including Synchronization and Start frame delimiter.
