Glossary
Broadcast
A Broadcast sends the same message at the same time to everyone. In wireless networks,
broadcast usually refers to an interaction in which the access point sends data traffic in the form
of IEEE 802.1x Frames to all client stations on the network.
Some wireless security modes distinguish between how unicast, multicast, and broadcast frames
are encrypted or whether they are encrypted.
See also Unicast and Multicast.
Broadcast Address

BSS
A basic service set (BSS) is an
single access
point. Also see extended service set (ESS) and independent basic service set (IBSS).

Counter mode/CBC-MAC Protocol (CCMP) is an encryption method for
employs a CCM mode of operation, combining the Cipher Block Chaining Counter mode (CBC-
CTR) and the Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code (CBC-MAC) for encryption
and message integrity.
AES-CCMP requires a hardware coprocessor to operate.
CGI
The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is a standard for running external programs from an
server. It specifies how to pass arguments to the executing program as part of the
