698GLOSSARY

seed

(1) An input to a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG), that is

 

generally the combination of two or more inputs. (2) The Wireless

 

Switch (WX) that distributes information to all the WX switches in a

 

Mobility Domain™ group.

SentrySweep™

A radio frequency (RF) detection sweep that runs continuously on the

 

disabled radios in a Mobility Domain™ group. See also RF detection

 

sweep.

session

A related set of communication transactions between an authenticated

 

user (client) and the specific station to which the client is bound.

Session Initialization

See SIP.

Protocol

 

service set identifier

See SSID.

SHA

Secure hashing algorithm. A one-way hashing algorithm used in many

 

authentication algorithms and also for key derivation in many

 

algorithms. A SHA produces a 160-bit hash.

shared secret

A static key distributed by an out-of-band mechanism to both the

 

sender and receiver. Also known as a shared key or preshared key

 

(PSK), a shared secret is used as input to a one-way hash algorithm.

 

When a shared secret is used for authentication, if the hash output of

 

both sender and receiver is the same, they share the same secret and

 

are authenticated. A shared secret can also be used for encryption key

 

generation and key derivation.

SIP

Session Initialization Protocol. A signaling protocol that establishes

 

real-time calls and conferences over IP networks.

Spanning Tree

See STP.

Protocol

 

SSH

Secure Shell protocol. A Telnet-like protocol that establishes an

 

encrypted session.

SSID

Service set identifier. The unique name shared among all computers

 

and other devices in a wireless LAN (WLAN).
