D.3 WPA2 (CCMP) 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 (Counter Mode with Cipher Block Chaining Message
Authentication Code Protocol) is the preferred encryption protocol in the 802.11i standard. CCMP computes
a
Message Integrity Check
(MIC) using the proven
Cipher Block Message Authentication Code
(CBC-MAC)
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 keys the administrator provides are used to derive other
keys. Messages are encrypted using a 128-bit secret key and a 128-bit block of data. For detailed steps on
configuring WPA2 for the CB3000 Client Bridge, see
Configuring WPA2 (CCMP) Security Settings on page 3-
