• EAP-Type & Encryption: Security settings. These settings allow you to
enhance the security of data across the wireless LAN. Refer to "EAP Cre-
dentials" on page 82 and "SCU Security Capabilities" on page 80 for
details about these settings.
5.4.2.1
The SCU provides integrated security to protect transmitted data as well as the hand-
held and wireless WAN infrastructure that transmit and receive data.
A foundational element of the IEEE 802.11i WLAN security standard is IEEE
802.1X and a critical application on a mobile device is an 802.1X supplicant. This
supplicant provides an interface between the radio and the operating system and
supports the authentication and encryption elements required for 802.11i, also
known as Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2), as well as predecessors such as WPA
and WEP. Summit software includes an integrated supplicant that supports a broad
range of security capabilities, including:
• 802.1X authentication using pre-shared keys or an EAP type, required for
WPA2 and WPA.
• Data encryption and decryption using WPA2 AES, WPA TKIP or WEP.
