10.4 WEP

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a standard for encrypting data before it is transmitted.

This is desirable because it is impossible to prevent snoopers from receiving any data which is transmitted by your

Wireless Stations. But if the data is encrypted, then it is meaningless unless the receiver can decrypt it.

If WEP is used, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must have the same settings for each of the fol-

lowing:

WEP

Off, 64 Bit, 128 Bit

Key

For 64 Bit encryption, the Key value must match.

For 128 Bit encryption, the Key value must match

WEP Authentication

Open System or Shared Key.

10.5 WPA-PSK

WPA-PSK is another standard for encrypting data before it is transmitted. This is a later standard than WEP (Wired

Equivalent Privacy), and provides greater security for your data. Data is encrypted using a 256Bit key which is auto-

matically generated and changed often.

If all your Wireless stations support WPA-PSK, you should use this instead of WEP.

If WPA-PSK is used, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must have the same settings for each of the

following:

WPA PSK

(Pre-shared Key)

Enter the same value on every station and the AP.

The PSK must be from 8 to 63 characters in length.

The 256Bit key used for the actual encryption is de-

rived from this key.

Encryption

The same encryption method must be used. The most

common encryption method is TKIP. Another widely-

supported method is AES.

10.6 WPA2-PSK

This is a later version of WPA (WPA-PSK). The major change is the use of AES (Advanced Encryption System) for

protecting data. AES is very secure, considered to be unbreakable. The PSK (Pre-shared Key) must be entered on

each Wireless station.

If WPA2-PSK is used, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must have the same settings for each of the

following:

WPA2 PSK

(Pre-shared Key)

Enter the same value on every station and the AP.

The PSK must be from 8 to 63 characters in length.

The 256Bit key used for the actual encryption is de-

rived from this key.

Encryption

The same encryption method must be used. The most

common encryption method is TKIP. Another widely-

supported method is AES.

10.7 WPA-802.1x

WPA-802.1x - This version of WPA requires a Radius Server on your LAN to provide the client authentication accord-

ing to the 802.1x standard. Data transmissions are encrypted using the WPA standard.
