WPA-TKIP Deployment Considerations
Before defining a WPA-TKIP supported configuration on a WLAN, refer to the following deployment guidelines to ensure the
configuration is optimally effective:
• Though TKIP offers better security than WEP, it can be vulnerable to certain attacks.
• When both TKIP and CCMP are enabled, a mix of clients are allowed to associate with the WLAN. Some use TKIP, others
use CCMP. Since broadcast traffic needs to be understood by all clients, the broadcast encryption type in this scenario is
TKIP.
6.1.2.9 WPA2-CCMP
Configuring WLAN Security
WPA2 is a newer 802.11i standard that provides even stronger wireless security than
Wi-Fi Protected Access
(WPA) and WEP.
CCMP is the security standard used by the
Advanced Encryption Standard
(AES). AES serves the same function TKIP does for
WPA-TKIP. CCMP computes a
Message Integrity Check
(MIC) using the proven
Cipher Block Chaining
(CBC) technique. Changing
just one bit in a message produces a totally different result.
WPA2/CCMP is based on the concept of a
Robust Security Network
(RSN), which defines a hierarchy of keys with a limited
lifetime (similar to TKIP). Like TKIP, the provided keys are used to derive other keys. Messages are encrypted using a 128-bit
secret key and a 128-bit block of data. The end result is an encryption scheme as secure as any for associated clients.
To configure WPA2-CCMP encryption on a WLAN:
1. Select the
Configuration
tab from the Web UI.
2. Select
Wireless.
3. Select
Wireless LANs
to display a high level display of existing WLANs.
4. Select the
Add
button to create an additional WLAN, or select an existing WLAN and
Edit
to modify the properties of an
existing WLAN.
5. Select
Security
.
6. Select the
WPA2-CCMP
radio button from within the select
Select Encryption
field.
The screen populates with the parameters required to define a WPA2-CCMP configuration for the WLAN.
NOTE:
WPA-TKIP is not supported on radios configured to exclusively use 802.11n.
