WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK
Enables a Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-shared Key (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK), which enables the Brother
wireless machine to associate with access points using TKIP for WPA-PSK or AES for WPA-PSK and
WPA2-PSK encryption (WPA-Personal).

„

LEAP
Cisco LEAP (Light Extensible Authentication Protocol) has been developed by Cisco Systems, Inc. which
uses a user ID and password for authentication.

„

EAP-FAST
EAP-FAST (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Flexible Authentication via Secured Tunnel) has been
developed by Cisco Systems, Inc. which uses a user ID and password for authentication, and symmetric
key algorithms to achieve a tunneled authentication process.
The Brother machine supports the following inner authentications:

• EAP-FAST/NONE

EAP-FAST authentication for CCXv3 networks. Does not use an inner authentication method.

• EAP-FAST/MS-CHAPv2

EAP-FAST authentication for CCXv4 networks. Uses MS-CHAPv2 for the inner authentication method.

• EAP-FAST/GTC

EAP-FAST authentication for CCXv4 networks. Uses GTC for the inner authentication method.

Encryption methods

3

Encryption is used to secure the data that is sent over the wireless network. The Brother machine supports
the following encryption methods:

„

None
No encryption method is used.

„

WEP
By using WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), the data is transmitted and received with a secure key.

„

TKIP
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) provides per-packet key mixing a message integrity check and
rekeying mechanism.

„

AES

AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is Wi-Fi

®

authorized strong encryption standard.

„

CKIP
The original Key Integrity Protocol for LEAP by Cisco Systems, Inc.
