C.1.2.1 SCU Security Capabilities

The SCU provides integrated security to protect transmitted data as well as the Ikôn and wireless WAN infrastructure that transmit and receive 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:

•802.1X authentication using pre-shared keys or an EAP type, required for WPA2 and WPA.

•Data encryption and decryption using WPA2 AES, WPA TKIP or WEP.

Common EAP types include:

•EAP-TLS: Uses the same technology as a follow-on to Secure Socket Layer (SSL). It provides strong security, but relies on client certificates for user authentication.
