Do Not Use WEP TheKey Size WEP Configuration OptionsWireless Channels WPA Wireless Security How Does WPA Compare to WEP? How Does WPA Compare to IEEE 802.11i? What are the Key Features of WPA Security?The primary information conveyed in the Beacon frames is the authentication method and the cipher suite. Possible authentication methods include 802.1X and Pre-shared key. Pre-shared key is an authentication method that uses a statically configured passphrase on both the stations and the access point. This obviates the need for an authentication server, which in many home and small office environments will not be available nor desirable. Possible cipher suites include WEP, TKIP, and AES Advanced Encryption Standard. We talk more about TKIP and AES when addressing data privacy below Figure C-3 WPA Overview Wireless LANWired Network with Optional 802.1x Port Based Network Access Control Login Authentication2.
