Basic Security Configurations
There are two main decisions to be made when choosing wireless security: encryption method and
authentication protocol.
The encryption method determines the algorithm used to encrypt the message. The authentication
type specifies how users are identified and verified on a network. Is the device seeking connection
what (and who) it claims to be?
Select an Encryption Method from the following table:
Type Algorithm Size
(bits)
Description
WEP RC4 64/128 This is the 64 or 128 bit WEP Key that must match other nodes’ encryption
keys in order to communicate. The user can only define 10 hex characters
(40 bits) for 64 bit WEP or 26 characters (104 bits) for 128 bit WEP.
WPA RC4 64/128
Improves on WEP by using TKIP* (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol), which
dynamically changes the encryption key and MIC (Message Integrity Code),
which replaces CRC.
WPA2 AES 128 Improves on WPA by replacing RC4 with AES (Advanced Encryption
Standard) for encryption. The user can only define 26 characters (104 bits)
for 128 bit WPA2.
Dynamic WEP cannot be selected directly, so select 128 for the encryption mode and select an
authentication mode from one of the following: LEAP, PEAP, EAP-FAST, TLS, or TTLS.
