802.1X
An access control and authentication protocol based on the client/server mode. It can
prevent unauthorized users/equipment from accessing the LAN/WLAN through an
access port. After a client (STA) is associated with an AP, the 802.1X authentication
result determines whether the STA can use the wireless services provided by the AP.
If the STA passes the authentication, the STA can access the resources in the WLAN.
If the STA fails to pass the authentication, the STA cannot access the resources in the
WLAN.

Advanced Encryption
Standard (AES)
A specification for the encryption of electronic data established by the U.S. National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). It supersedes the Data Encryption
Standard (DES). AES adopts a symmetric-key algorithm for both encrypting and
decrypting the data, where the block size is 128 bits and the key size is 128 bits, 192
bits, or 256 bits.

Data Encryption
Standard (DES)
A specification for encryption of computer data developed by IBM and adopted by
the U.S. government as a standard in 1976. DES uses a 56-bit key.
Dynamic Host
Configuration
A client-server networking protocol. A DHCP server provides configuration
parameters specific to the DHCP client host requesting information the host requires
