Enterprise security level.
4. Ensure that an authentication type is enabled.
5. From the Authentication Server 1 drop-down list, select the server name on which dynamic RADIUS
proxy parameters are enabled. You can also create a new server with RADIUS and RADIUS proxy

Understanding Encryption Types

Encryption is the process of converting data into a cryptic format or code when it is transmitted on a network.
Encryption prevents unauthorized use of the data.
Instant supports the following types of encryption:
WEP—Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is an authentication method where all users share the same key. WEP
l
is not as secure as other encryption types such as TKIP.
TKIP—Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) uses the same encryption algorithm as WEP. However, TKIP is
l
more secure and has an additional message integrity check (MIC).
