The 802.11 specifies an over-the-air interface between a wireless client and a base station or between two wireless clients and provides 1 or 2 Mbps transmission in the 2.4 GHz band using either frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) or direct sequence spread spectrum...
  • Page 123 Access Point A device that connects wireless devices to another network. For (AP) example, a wireless LAN, Internet modem or others. ad hoc A communication configuration in which every computer has the network same capabilities, and any computer can initiate a communication session.
  • Page 124 Short for Extensible Authentication Protocol, EAP sits inside of Point-to-Point Protocol’s (PPP) authentication protocol and provides a generalized framework for several different authentication methods. EAP is supposed to head off proprietary authentication systems and let everything from passwords to challenge-response tokens and public-key infrastructure certificates all work smoothly.
  • Page 125 Fragmentation The threshold at which the wireless adapter breaks the packet into threshold multiple frames. This determines the packet size and affects the throughput of the transmission. Gigahertz. A unit of frequency equal to 1,000,000,000 cycles per second. Host computer The computer that is directly connected to the Internet via a modem or network adapter.
  • Page 126 PEAP Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) draft protocol sponsored by Microsoft, Cisco, and RSA Security. PEAP creates an encrypted tunnel similar to the tunnel used in secure web pages (SSL). Inside the encrypted tunnel, a number of other EAP authentication methods can be used to perform client authentication.
  • Page 127 SSID. This is the wireless network name that appears when a DMU (Device Management Utility, such as Intel® PROSet/Wireless) scans for available wireless networks. It is commonly considered a weak security feature, in that it does not readily disclose the presence of the wireless network.
  • Page 128 TTLS Tunneled Transport Layer Security. These settings define the protocol and the credentials used to authenticate a user. In TTLS, the client uses EAP-TLS to validate the server and create a TLS- encrypted channel between the client and server. The client can use another authentication protocol, typically password-based protocols, such as MD5 Challenge over this encrypted channel to enable server validation.
  • Page 129 WPA2 Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2). This is the second generation of WPA that complies with the IEEE TGi specification. WPA2 consists of AES encryption, pre-authentication and PMKID caching. It provides support for BSS (Infrastructure) mode and IBSS (ad hoc) mode.

    When you set up your wireless adapter, you select the operating mode for the kind of wireless network you want. You can use your Intel(R) PRO/Wireless Network Connection adapter to connect to other similar wireless devices that comply with the 802.11 standard for wireless networking.
  • Page 131: Network Name

    The software application on your computer that is used to manage your wireless connections is commonly referred to as a wireless network manager or client utility. Your Dell portable computer ships with two client utilities installed: Intel PROSet/ Wireless and Microsoft Windows Zero Configuration. Intel PROSet is set by default as the utility which controls the management of your wireless connections.

    Radio Management WEP Encryption Use IEEE 802.11 Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption to prevent unauthorized reception of wireless data. WEP encryption provides two levels of security that use a 64-bit key (sometimes referred to as 40-bit) or a 128-bit key (also known as 104-bit).
  • Page 137 802.1x Authentication How 802.1x Authentication Works 802.1x Features Overview The 802.1x authentication is independent of the 802.11 authentication process. The 802.1x standard provides a framework for various authentication and key- management protocols. There are different 802.1x authentication types, each provides a different approach to authentication but all employ the same 802.1x protocol and framework for communication between a client and an access point.
  • Page 138 devices attached to a LAN port and prevent access to that port if the authentication process fails. What is RADIUS? RADIUS is the Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service, an Authorization, Authentication, and Accounting (AAA) client-server protocol, that is used when a AAA dial-up client logs in or out of a Network Access Server.

AES-CCMP - (Advanced Encryption Standard - Counter CBC-MAC Protocol) The new method for privacy protection of wireless transmissions specified in the IEEE 802.11i standard. AES-CCMP provides a stronger encryption method than TKIP. Choose AES- CCMP as the data encryption method whenever strong data protection is important.

  • Page 142 Cisco LEAP (Cisco Light EAP) is a server and client 802.1x authentication through a user-supplied logon password. When a wireless access point communicates with a Cisco LEAP-enabled RADIUS (Cisco Secure Access Control Server [ACS]), Cisco LEAP provides access control through mutual authentication between client wireless adapters and the wireless networks and provides dynamic, individual user encryption keys to help protect the privacy of transmitted data.
  • Page 143 EAP-FAST EAP-FAST like EAP-TTLS and PEAP, uses tunneling to protect traffic. The main difference is that EAP-FAST does not use certificates to authenticate. Provisioning in EAP-FAST is negotiated solely by the client as the first communication exchange when EAP-FAST is requested from the server. If the client does not have a pre- shared secret Protected Access Credential (PAC), it is able to initiate a provisioning EAP-FAST exchange to dynamically obtain one from the server.
