FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7113
Mechanism
WPA
WPA2
FRITZ!Box supports the AES encryption procedure as part of
the WPA2 mechanism, and the TKIP encryption procedure as
part of the WPA mechanism. This means that the FRITZ!Box
can be used in combination with any WLAN adapters that al-
so support WPA2 with AES or WPA with TKIP.
Security is of utmost importance within radio networks.
Radio signals can also be received outside of office or res-
idential spaces and abused for criminal purposes.
Therefore it is important that no unauthorized users can
register in a WLAN to use its Internet access or shared net-
work resources.
FRITZ!Box includes settings on various levels that contrib-
ute to the security of your WLAN and thus to the security of
your computers.
Encryption
The most important security setting is encryption. The
FRITZ!Box supports the security mechanisms WEP (Wired
Equivalent Privacy), WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and
WPA2 as follows:
Encryption
TKIP (Temporary Key Integrity Protocol)
TKIP
AES-CCMP
based on the extremely secure AES
(Advanced Encryption Standard)
procedure. CCM (Counter with CBC-MAC)
defines how the AES procedure is applied
to WLAN packets.
