Chapter 7 Appendix - Glossary for network functions
These are stations for relaying electromagnetic signals between computers in a wireless
LAN. When a computer is connected to an access point, it can communicate through the
network connected to the access point.
Next generation standard cryptography standardized by the National Institute of Standards
and Technology (NIST).
AES: Advanced Encryption Standard
The devices that are used for different network standards from yours. Default Gateway
enables a connection with other network, by adjusting bilateral differences such as
communication protocols. If no gateway is specified for the IP address of access
destination, data will be sent to the host set as the default gateway.
Abbreviation for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This function automatically assigns
IP addresses to the connected equipment. If a device with the DHCP server function is
present within a LAN, it automatically assigns IP addresses to the connected equipment.
Abbreviation of PPP Extensible Authentication Protocol. An authentication protocol
extended from PPP, which is used for user authentication for remote access. MD5, TLS, S/
Key, etc. are supported as authentication methods. This protocol is adopted by the wireless
LAN authentication standard IEEE802.1X, and available methods include EAP-TLS/EAP-
TTLS/EAP-LEAP/EAP-PEAP/EAP-MD5.
Abbreviation of EAP-Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling. It is one of the
wireless authentication methods compatible with IEEE802.1X. It does not require digital
authentication, but establishes a tunnel for the authentication process using a secret key
cryptosystem, and authenticates the tunnel mutually to improve security. Cisco's proprietary
method.
Abbreviation of EAP-Tunneled Transport Layer Security. It is one of the wireless
authentication methods compatible with IEEE802.1X. It performs mutual authentication with
a digital certificate by the authentication server, and ID/password by the client. A tunnel is
established for the authentication process. Developed by Func Software in the U.S.
Abbreviation of EAP-Generic Token Card. It is one of the wireless authentication methods
compatible with IEEE802.1X. Authentication is performed with ID and password. Password
is acquired from a security token.
Internet Protocol (IP) is a protocol for distributing data, and the address corresponding to
the data distribution destination is called the IP address. The same IP address cannot be
used within the same LAN.
Abbreviation for Local Area Network. This is a network with a relatively narrow range such
as inside a company.
Each network adapter has its own ID No.
A discrete ID No. is assigned to each and every network adapter around the world. These
IDs are used to exchange data between adapters. These IDs are a combination of a
discrete number managed and assigned by the IEEE to each individual manufacturer and a
unique number assigned to each individual adapter by the manufacturer.
Abbreviation of EAP-Message digest algorithm 5. It is one of the wireless authentication
methods compatible with IEEE802.1X. Authentication is performed with ID and password.
Password is sent encrypted with challenge & response method.
Abbreviation of EAP-Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol v2. It is one
of the wireless authentication methods compatible with IEEE802.1X.It performs mutual
authentication using a one-way encrypted password.
This is an authentication of wireless signals employing a public key encryptosystem.
Abbreviation for EAP-Protected EAP. It is one of the wireless authentication methods
compatible with IEEE802.1X. It performs mutual authentication with a digital certificate by
the authentication server, and ID/password by the client.
