Authentication vs. Security

Parameter	Description
Authentication Type	This setting has to be consistent with the wireless networks that
	the card intends to connect to. All security keys within a network
	must match to allow successful communications.
	None – 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-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 wireless stations in the 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. The encryption methods are including TKIP and AES.
	Note that this option is only available for Windows XP.
