Choosing Between Microsoft and Funk Security

Authentication Terminology (continued)
Acronym Description
EAP-TTLS Tunneled Transport Layer Security. This protocol provides
authentication like EAP-TLS but does not require certificates
for every user. Instead, authentication servers are issued
certificates. User authentication is done using a password or
other credentials that are transported in a securely encrypted
"tunnel" established using server certificates.
EAP-TTLS works by creating a secure, encrypted tunnel
through which you present your credentials to the
authentication server. Thus, inside EAPTTLS there is another
inner authentication protocol that you must configure via
Additional TTLS Settings.
The CK61 provides three types of security for your wireless network:
Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2/802.11i), WPA, and WEP. 802.1x
should be referred to as an authentication method used for WPA and
WPA2. Another authentication method for WPA and WPA2 would be
the Pre-Shared Key (PSK).
Before you can implement a security solution on the CK61, you need
to choose between Microsoft and Funk security:
• By default, Funk security is enabled. It provides everything you get
with Microsoft security plus the addition of Cisco Compatible
Extensions features. It also provides additional authentication
types like EAP-TTLS, LEAP, and EAP-FAST.
• Microsoft security, with its Microsoft Zero Config feature, is also
available. To switch to Microsoft security, go

Note: Your security choice does not depend on your authentication
server. For example, you can choose Funk security if you use
Microsoft Active Directory® to issue certificates.
