• In a RADIUS server: this is a server used in businesses more than in homes.

If your AP does not provide a local user database and if you do not have a RADIUS server,

you cannot set up user names and passwords for your users.

Unauthorized devices can still see the information that is sent in the wireless network, even if

they cannot use the wireless network. Furthermore, there are ways for unauthorized wireless

users to get a valid user name and password. Then, they can use that user name and password

to use the wireless network.

Local user databases also have an additional limitation that is explained in the next section.

7.2.4 Encryption

Wireless networks can use encryption to protect the information that is sent in the wireless

network. Encryption is like a secret code. If you do not know the secret code, you cannot

understand the message.

The types of encryption you can choose depend on the type of user authentication. (See

Section 7.2.3 on page 106 for information about this.)

For example, if the wireless network has a RADIUS server, you can choose WPA or WPA2.

If users do not log in to the wireless network, you can choose no encryption, Static WEP,

WPA-PSK, or WPA2-PSK.

Usually, you should set up the strongest encryption that every wireless client in the wireless

network supports. For example, suppose the AP does not have a local user database, and you

do not have a RADIUS server. Therefore, there is no user authentication. Suppose the wireless

network has two wireless clients. Device A only supports WEP, and device B supports WEP

and WPA. Therefore, you should set up Static WEP in the wireless network.

"It is recommended that wireless networks use WPA-PSK, WPA, or stronger

encryption. IEEE 802.1x and WEP encryption are better than none at all, but it is

still possible for unauthorized devices to figure out the original information

pretty quickly.

It is not possible to use WPA-PSK, WPA or stronger encryption with a local

user database. In this case, it is better to set up stronger encryption with no

authentication than to set up weaker encryption with the local user database.
