EAP-GTC The EAP-GTC (Generic Token Card) is similar to the EAP-OTP except with
hardware token cards. The request contains a displayable message, and
the response contains the string read from the hardware token card.
EAP-OTP EAP-OTP (One-Time Password) is similar to MD5, except it uses the OTP as
the response. The request contains a displayable message. The OTP
method is defined in RFC 2289. The OTP mechanism is employed
extensively in VPN and PPP scenarios but not in the wireless world
EAP-SIM Extensible Authentication Protocol-Subscriber Identity Module (EAP-SIM)
authentication can be used with:
●
Network Authentication types: Open, Shared, and WPA-Enterprise,
WPA2-Enterprise.
●
Data Encryption types: None, WEP and CKIP.
A SIM card is a special smart card that is used by GSM-based digital
cellular networks. The SIM card is used to validate your credentials with
the network
EAP-TLS A type of authentication method using EAP and a security protocol called
the Transport Layer Security (TLS). EAP-TLS uses certificates that use
passwords. EAP-TLS authentication supports dynamic WEP key
management.
EAP-TTLS A type of authentication method using EAP and Tunneled Transport Layer
Security (TTLS). EAP-TTLS uses a combination of certificates and another
security method such as passwords.
Encryption Scrambling data so that only the authorized recipient can read it. Usually a
key is needed to interpret the data.
FHSS
Frequency-Hop Spread Spectrum. Technology used in radio transmission.
Incompatible with DSSS.
File and
printer sharing
A capability that allows a number of people to view, modify, and print the
same file(s) from different computers.
Fragmentation
threshold
The threshold at which the wireless adapter breaks the packet into multiple
frames. This determines the packet size and affects the throughput of the
transmission.
GHz Gigahertz. A unit of frequency equal to 1,000,000,000 cycles per second.
Host computer The computer that is directly connected to the Internet via a modem or
network adapter.
Infrastructure
Network
A wireless network centered around an access point. In this environment,
the access point not only provides communication with the wired network,
but also mediates wireless network traffic in the immediate neighborhood.
