Authentication

802.11supports four subtypes of network authentication services: Open, Shared, WPA, and WPA-PSK. Under Open authentication, any wireless station can request authentication. The station that needs to authenticate with another wireless station sends an authentication management frame that contains the identity of the sending station. The receiving station then sends back a frame that indicates whether it recognizes the identity of the sending station.
