Encryption Page

This page is the security configuration of the wireless connection. WEP (Wired Equiva- lent Privacy) is a data privacy mechanism based on a 64/128-bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.1x standard. When the “Disable”is selected there is no WEP encryption. When either “64bits” or “128bits”selected there is encrypted date transfer to prevent unauthorized user to access the wireless network.

1Authentication Type

You may choose between “Open System”, “Shared Key”, and “Auto”. The Authentication Type default is set to “Auto”.

Open System in which the sender and the recipient do NOT share a secret key. Each party generates its own key-pair and asks the receiver to ac cept the randomly generated key. Once accepted, this key is used for a short time only. Then a new key is generated and agreed upon.

Shared Key is both the sender and the recipient share a secret key.

If the “Shared Key”option is selected, it will not be able to perform the option “disable”of the WEP Type.
