Parameter

Description

Network Authentication

Open –No authentication is needed among the wireless network.

 

Shared – Only wireless stations using a shared key (WEP Key

 

identified) are allowed to connecting each other.

 

WPA – This mode is for enterprise with an authentication server

 

(Radius Server), WPA-enabled access point, and a WPA-enabled

 

client. Once WPA is enabled, all clients and access points on the

 

network must b e WPA-enabled in order to access the network.

 

WPA-PSK– It is a special mode designed for home and small

 

business users who do not have access to network authentication

 

servers. In this mode, known as Pre-Shared Key, the user

 

manually enters the starting password in their access point or

 

gateway, as well as in each PC on the wireless network. WPA

 

takes over automatically from that point, keeping unauthorized

 

users that don't have the matching password from joining the

 

network, while encrypting the data traveling between authorized

 

devices.

 

 

Parameter

Description

 

 

Data Encryption

WEP – In WPA or WPA-PSK mode, WEP is also able to be the

 

encryption method for the transmission data.

 

TKIP – TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) changes the

 

temporal key every 10,000 packets (a packet is a kind of message

 

transmitted over a network.) This insures much greater security

 

than the standard WEP security.

 

AES – AES has been developed to ensure the highest degree of

 

security and authenticity for digital information and it is the most

 

advanced solution defined by IEEE 802.11i for the security in the

 

wireless network.

 

Note: All devices in the network should use the same encryption

 

method to ensure the communication.
