Authentication and encryption for wireless users onlyAuthentication method

The Brother machine supports the following methods:

„ Open system

 

Wireless devices are allowed to access the network without any authentication.

 

„ Shared key

 

A secret pre-determined key is shared by all devices that will access the wireless network. The

 

Brother machine uses the WEP keys as the pre-determined key.

 

„ WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK

E

Enables a Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK), which enables

the Brother wireless machine to associate with access points using TKIP for WPA-PSK or AES

 

for WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK (WPA-Personal).

 

„LEAP

Cisco LEAP (Light Extensible Authentication Protocol) has been developed by Cisco Systems, Inc. and enables the Brother wireless product to associate with access points using CKIP encryptions.

„EAP-FAST

EAP-FAST (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Flexible Authentication via Secured Tunnel) has been developed by Cisco Systems, Inc. which uses user ID and password for authentication, and symmetric key algorithms to achieve a tunneled authentication process.

The Brother machine supports the following inner authentications:

•EAP-FAST/NONE

MS-CHAPv2 is used for Provisioning, and the method of EAP-FAST corresponding to second phase authentication method.

•EAP-FAST/MS-CHAPv2

Method of EAP-FAST corresponding to CCXv4 that uses MS-CHAPv2 for inner method.

•EAP-FAST/GTC

Method of EAP-FAST corresponding to CCXv4 that uses GTC for inner method.
