RADIUS

Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service. A client-server security

 

protocol described in RFC 2865 and RFC 2866. RADIUS extensions,

 

including RADIUS support for the Extensible Authentication Protocol

 

(EAP), are described in RFC 2869. Originally developed by Livingston

 

Enterprises, Inc., to authenticate, authorize, and account for dial-up

 

users, RADIUS has been widely extended to broadband and enterprise

 

networking. The RADIUS server stores user profiles, which include

 

passwords and authorization attributes.

RC4

A common encryption algorithm, designed by RSA Data Security, Inc.,

 

used by the Wired-Equivalent Privacy (WEP) protocol and Temporal Key

 

Integrity Protocol (TKIP).

received signal

See RSSI.

strength indication

 

registration authority

Network software that verifies a user (client) request for a digital

(RA)

certificate and instructs the certificate authority (CA) to issue the

 

certificate. Registration authorities are part of a public-key infrastructure

 

(PKI), which enables secure exchanges of information over a network.

 

The digital certificate contains a public key for encrypting and

 

decrypting messages and digital signatures.

Remote

See RADIUS.

Authentication

 

Dial-In User Service

 

restricted access

Permission to use most Mobility System Software (MSS) command-line

 

interface (CLI) commands required for viewing status information

 

(display commands), except those that list security information in clear

 

text. Users with restricted access can clear ARP requests and ping hosts.

 

Compare enabled access.

RF detection sweep

A comprehensive search for radio frequency (RF) signals within a

 

Mobility Domain™ group, to locate rogue clients, rogue access points,

 

and ad hoc users. A sweep can be either a scheduled sweep or a

 

continuous SentrySweep™ search. During a scheduled sweep, each

 

included Managed Access Point (MAP) radio sweeps all channels in the

 

IEEE 802.11b/g and 802.11a spectrum. In contrast, SentrySweep

 

operates only on the disabled radios in a Mobility Domain and does not

 

disrupt service.
