Security Policy
Security Policy - 802.11 standard defines two mechanisms for
authentication of wireless LAN clients: Open Authentication
and
Shared Key Authentication.
Choose one of the security modes from the drop down list. If
you choose OPEN or SHARED, you have to type WEP
information.
OPEN – Open authentication is basically null
authentication algorithm, which means that there
is no
verification of the user.
SHARED – It works similar to Open authentication
with
only one major difference. If you choose OPEN
with WEP
encryption key, the WEP keys is used to
encrypt and
decrypt the data but not for authentication.
In Shared key
authentication, WEP encryption will be
used for
authentication.
If you choose WPA-Personal or WPA2-Personal, the
corresponding WPA settings will be listed as follows.
You
have to choose the WPA algorithms and type the
pass
phrase for such security mode.
WPA Algorithms – Choose Temporal Key
Integrity
Protocol (TKIP) or AES for data
encryption.
Pass Phrase – Please type 8 to 63
alphanumerical
characters here.
WEP
WEP Key Length - WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a
common encryption mode. It is safe enough for home and
