676GLOSSARY

BSSID

Basic service set identifier. The 48-bit media access control (MAC)

 

address of the radio in the access point (AP) that serves the stations in

 

a basic service set (BSS).

CA

See certificate authority (CA).

CBC-MAC

See CCMP.

CCI

Co-channel interference. Obstruction that occurs when one signal on a

 

particular frequency intrudes into a cell that is using that same

 

frequency for transmission. In multicell networks, systems are designed

 

to minimize CCI through appropriate transmission power and channel

 

selection.

CCMP

Counter-Mode with Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication

 

Code Protocol. A wireless encryption protocol based on the Advanced

 

Encryption Standard (AES) and defined in the IEEE 802.11i specification.

 

CCMP uses a symmetric key block cipher mode that provides privacy by

 

means of counter mode and data origin authenticity by means of

 

cipher block chaining message authentication code (CBC-MAC). See

 

also 802.11i; AES; TKIP; WPA. Compare WEP.

cell

The geographical area covered by a wireless transmitter.

certificate authority

Network software that issues and manages security credentials and

(CA)

public keys for authentication and message encryption. As part of a

 

public-key infrastructure (PKI), which enables secure exchanges of

 

information over a network, a certificate authority checks with a

 

registration authority (RA) to verify information provided by the

 

requestor of a digital certificate. If the registration authority verifies the

 

requestor’s information, the certificate authority can issue a certificate.

 

Based on the PKI implementation, the certificate content can include

 

the certificate’s expiration date, the owner’s public key, the owner’s

 

name, and other information about the public-key owner. See also

 

registration authority (RA).

Certificate Signing

See CSR.

Request

 

Challenge Handshake

See CHAP.
