Security
Besides TKIP, the WPA2 mechanism also defines the
AES-CCM encryption procedure, which is based on
the extremely secure AES (Advanced Encryption Stan-
dard) procedure. CCM (Counter with CBC-MAC) de-
fines how the AES procedure is applied to WLAN
packets.
The FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick supports the AES encryption
procedure as part of the WPA2 mechanism, and the TKIP
encryption procedure as part of the WPA mechanism. This
means that the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick can be used in com-
bination with any WLAN access points that also support
WPA2 with AES or WPA with TKIP.
6.2 Security
Security is of utmost importance within radio networks.
Radio signals can also be received outside of the office or
home and abused for criminal purposes.
Therefore it is important that no unauthorized users can
register in a WLAN to use its Internet access or shared net-
work resources.
The necessary requirements for this, which contribute to
the security of your WLAN and of your computers, are inte-
grated in the FRITZ!WLAN control software.
Encryption
The most important security setting is the encryption. The
FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick supports the security mechanisms
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Ac-
cess) and WPA2 as follows:
As part of the WEP mechanism a static key is deter-
mined to serve for the encryption of the user data.
The key must also be registered in the WLAN settings
of the WLAN client and correspond with the WLAN
settings of the WLAN access point.
