Cipher Suite
: You can chose use AES or TKIP with your WPA / WPA2 encryption
method,
AES
is short for “
Advanced Encryption Standard
”, The AES cipher is specified
as a number of repetitions of transformation rounds that convert the input plaintext
into the final output of ciphertext. Each round consists of several processing steps,
including one that depends on the encryption key. A set of reverse rounds are
applied to transform ciphertext back into the original plaintext using the same
encryption key.
TKIP
is short for “
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
”, TKIP scrambles the keys
using a hashing algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures
that the keys haven’t been tampered with.
Group Key Update Period
: This time interval for re-keying GTK
(broadcast/multicast encryption keys) in seconds. Enter the time-length required;
the default time is 600 seconds.
Master Key Update Period
: This time interval for re-keying GMK (master key
used internally to generate GTKs) in seconds. Enter the time-length required; the
default time is 83400 seconds.
Key Type
: Check on the respected button to enable either
ASCII
or
HEX
format
for the Pre-shared Key.
Pre-Shared Key
: Enter the information for pre-shared key; the format of the
information shall according to the key type selected. Pre-shared key can be either
entered as a 256-bit secret in 64 HEX digits format, or 8 to 63 ASCII characters.
WPA-Enterprise (or WPA2-Enterprise) General Setting
The RADIUS authentication and encryption will be both enabled if this selected.
