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 security settings for
each of the following:
WEP 64 Bits, 128 Bits.
Key
For 64 Bits encryption, the Key value must match.
For 128 Bits encryption, the Key value must match.
WEP Authentication Open System or Shared Key.
B3.2 WPA/WPA2
WPA/WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is more secure than WEP. It uses a “Shared Key” which allows
the encryption keys to be regenerated at a specified interval. There are several encryption options:
TKIP, AES, TKIP-AES and additional setup for RADIUS is required in this method. The most
important features beyond WPA to become standardized through 802.11i/WPA2 are: pre-
authentication, which enables secure fast roaming without noticeable signal latency.
If WPA or WPA2 is used, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must have the same security
settings.
B3.3 WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK
WPA/WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access using Pre-Shared Key) is recommended for users who are not
using a RADIUS server in a home environment and all their clients support WPA/WPA2. This
method provides a better security.
If WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK is used, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must have the same
security settings.
