8.4.11 Wi-Fi Protected Access™ (WPA)

WPA: Besides VPN (Virtual Private Network), currently one of the highest levels of security a wireless network can achieve. Wi-Fi Protected Access™ is a multistage security specifi- cation and has been introduced as an interim solution for most known security weak- nesses in relation to plain WEP. TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol), the successor to WEP, includes enhancements that eliminate the known vulnerabilities of WEP, and en- sures that the basic key is periodically switched so that not enough information can be col- lected to decrypt data.

WPA for SOHO applications

SOHO users can use WPA with user-defined keys. To do so, select the Pre-Shared Key Mode and enter a password. Then save the configuration to activate WPA.

A shared key can only be regarded as being secure provided no third party knows

of it.

WPA – Enterprise Mode

Companies employing RADIUS-based authentication can use WPA with 802.1x (WPA-EAP/enterprise mode). An EAP (ex- tensible authentication protocol) is used with a new encryption method called Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP).

A WLAN client with WPA capabilities is needed for

working with the AccessPoint (so-called supplicant). Vendors nowadays offer upgrades for their cards or have newer generations ready that apply to the new WLAN security standard, Wi-Fi Protected Access™, and its future successor, IEEE 802.11i.

APPLICATION

WPA (Pre-Shared Key):

Only the shared secret can be set as an option. Authentication and encryption are handled automatically.

WPA (Enterprise Mode) with dynamic WEP (TKIP):

If WEP is not activated in Pri- mary Settings / WLAN Security

/WEP, WPA will automatically set the encryption type to dy- namic WEP (TKIP) -> recom- mended. 802.1x will be launched automatically, which allows a rekeying based on bandwidth or time. Otherwise WEP (TKIP) will be used as defined in the WEP (TKIP) settings.
