Figure 5.5 WPA-PSK Encryption

WPA2
WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2), is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to
improve the security features of WEP and WPA. WPA2 is based on 802.11i and
uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) instead of TKIP. In particular, it intro-
duces CCMP, a new AES-based encryption mode with strong security.
WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase or key to authenticate your wireless connection.
The key is an alpha-numeric password between 8 and 63 characters long. The
password can include symbols (!?*&_) and spaces. This key must be the exact
same key entered on your wireless router or access point.
WPA Algorithms : Select the cipher mode either TKIP, AES or Auto-selection
Key Renewal Interval : The period of time that EKI-6310GN will use the same
key before a new one is generated. The recommend value is 3600 seconds (1
hour).
IP Address : Optional, the IP address of Radius Server. The configuration is
required for accounting using a Radius Server.
Port : Optional, the Port number of Radius Server. The configuration is required
for accounting using a Radius Server.
Shared Secret : Optional, that is shared between the EKI-6310GN and the
Radius Server while authenticating the supplicant. The configuration is required
for accounting using a Radius Server.
