Page 42: Glossary Of Terms
Glossary Back to Contents Glossary of Terms Term Definition 802.11 The 802.11 standard refers to a family of specifications developed by the IEEE for wireless LAN technology. 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 (DSSS). - Page 43 Glossary CA (Certificate A corporate certification authority implemented on a server. In addition, Internet Explorer's Authority) certificate can import a certificate from a file. A trusted CA certificate is stored in the root store. CCX (Cisco Cisco Compatible Extensions Program ensures that devices used on Cisco wireless LAN Compatible infrastructure meet the security, management and roaming requirements.
- Page 44 Glossary A SIM card is a special smart card that is used by Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) based digital cellular networks. The SIM card is used to validate your credentials with the network EAP-TLS A type of authentication method that uses EAP and a security protocol called the Transport Layer Security (TLS).
- Page 45 This is the WiFi network name that appears when a DMU (Device Management Utility, such as Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility) scans for available wireless networks. Although this can enhance wireless network security, it is commonly considered a weak security feature.
- Page 46 Glossary Protocol) TKIP is part of the IEEE 802.11i encryption standard for wireless networks. TKIP is the next generation of WEP, the Wired Equivalency Protocol, which is used to secure 802.11 wireless networks. TKIP provides per packet key mixing, a message integrity check and a re-keying mechanism, thus fixing the flaws of WEP.
- Page 47 Glossary upon the security features of WEP as follows: Improved data encryption through the temporal key integrity protocol (TKIP). TKIP uses a hashing algorithm to scramble the encryption keys and adds an integrity-checking feature to ensure that the keys have not been tampered with. User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the extensible authentication protocol (EAP).
