Advanced Encryption Standard
Counter Mode Encryption With CBC-MAC Protocol
Extensible Authentication Protocol
Extended Service Set
Refers to a WLAN that consists of multiple Rxs.
Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
WiFi Protected Access
WIFI security Protagoras WEP -> WPA - WPA2
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2 ) is an authentication program carried out under
the monitoring of Wi-Fi Alliance. It is a security protocol that indicates that the network
equipment satisfies the security protocol established by Wi-Fi Alliance. WPA indicates
that the existing LAN card operation complies with the expansion protocol standards
completely and WPA2 mark indicates that the relevant device does the same.
WiFi Protected Setup
Press the WPS buttons of the wireless Rx and wireless device (during the 120 seconds of
waiting time) to establish connection without entering password: there are PBC, PIN,
and NFC type.

Short Guard Interval
The guard interval is a waiting time between sending data continuously in a wireless
network to reduce the impact of data. For 802.11 a/g, it is 800 nsec, but for 802.11n, it is
set to 400n sec so that the sub carrier can be used to compensate for the reduced guard
interval to make the total throughout to reach 72Mbps. Reducing the guard is provided
as a optional when a WLAN is established as interval needs agreement between the
transmission and reception ends.
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
Multi Input Multi Output
MIMO is a multi I/O technology. The wireless quality depends on how far the signal is
and which route the signal is received. MIMO uses multiple antennas to receive signals
coming in along multiple paths (multipath) and operate data and recover them to
original signals. 802.11g/b/g uses a single antenna or SISO (Single Input Output).
It is used instead of password to mean that the password should long enough.
