7.2 Security

Security options include authentication and encryption services based on the wired
equivalent privacy (WEP) algorithm. WEP is a set of security services used to
protect 802.11 networks from unauthorized access, such as eavesdropping; in this
case, the capture of wireless network traffic. When data encryption is enabled,
secret shared encryption keys are generated and used by the source station and the
destination station to alter frame bits, thus avoiding disclosure to eavesdroppers.
802.11 protocols support two types of network authentication services: open
system and shared key. Under open system authentication, any wireless station
can request authentication. The system that needs to authenticate with another
wireless station sends an authentication management frame that contains the
identity of the sending station. The receiving station then sends back a frame that
indicates whether it recognizes the identity of the sending station. Under shared
key authentication, each wireless station is assumed to have received a secret
shared key over a secure channel that is independent from the 802.11 wireless
network communications channel.
The following screen appears when Security is selected. The options shown here
allow you to configure security features of the wireless LAN interface.
