Nokia A032 Advanced User Guide
• Eavesdropping is prevented by the use of
encryption (data is scrambled such that only
the sender and receiver can understand it).
Authentication and encryption
The Nokia A032 provides several levels of
authentication and encryption. Choose the level
that is appropriate for your environment:
Level 0
Level 0 or open system operation offers no
special security provisions.
You might have an alternative security system
in operation, or feel that the administration of
passwords is not warranted by the low risk of
an eavesdropper wanting to intercept your
data.
Network access should be taken more seriously
– you should not leave unsecured network
resources such as servers or shared directories
on an open wireless LAN. Use password locking
at the operating system level for these resources
to provide effective access security.
