2.5.3.4 WPA Pre-shared key
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You
can use a pre-shared key to authenticate wireless stations and encrypt
data during communication. It uses TKIP or CCMP (AES) to change the
encryption key frequently. So the encryption key will not be known by
hackers easily, and this will improve security.
Parameters Description
WPA(TKIP)
TKIP will change the encryption key frequently to
enhance the wireless LAN security.
WPA2(AES)
WPA2 AES uses CCMP protocol to change encryption
key frequently. AES can provide high level encryption to
enhance the wireless LAN security.
WPA2 Mixed
WPA2 Mixed will use TKIP or AES based on the other
communication peer automatically.
Pre-shared
Key Format
You may select Passphrase (alphanumeric format) or
Hexadecimal Digits (in the “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9” range)
to be the Pre-shared Key. For example:
Passphrase: iamguest
Hexadecimal Digits: 12345abcde
Pre-shared
