2.9.2.1SCU Security Capabilities

The SCU provides integrated security to protect transmitted data as well as the vehicle- mount infrastructure that transmits and receives data.

A foundational element of the IEEE 802.11i WLAN security standard is IEEE 802.1X and a critical application on a mobile device is an 802.1X supplicant. This supplicant provides an interface between the radio and the operating system and supports the authentication and en- cryption elements required for 802.11i, also known as Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2), as well as predecessors such as WPA and WEP. Summit software includes an integrated suppli- cant that supports a broad range of security capabilities, including:
