3.5.2.2.2.2.1 Encryption Mode and Parameters
The selected Encryption option and relevant parameters define the methods to be used for
authentication of client devices and for protecting the information transferred over the wireless link. The
available options are:
No Encryption
WEP Open System
WEP Shared Key
WPA-PSK
WPA2-PSK
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK Mixed Mode
IEEE802.1X/WPA-EAP
IEEE802.1X/WPA2-EAP
No Encryption: No authentication, no encryption of over the air information. This is the default mode
that should typically be used for testing purposes or for enabling any client to connect with the AP (e.g.
to support Hotspot services).
WEP: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the oldest and least secure encryption algorithm. In 2004 the
IEEE declared that both WEP-40 and WEP-104 "have been deprecated as they fail to meet their security
goals". Stronger encryption using WPA or WPA2 should be used where possible.
The same shared WEP key must be configured in both side of the wireless link, and is used for both
authentication and encryption of over the air traffic.
