6.1.2.5 WPA/WPA2-TKIP
Wi-Fi Protected Access
(WPA) is an encryption scheme specified in the IEEE
Wireless Fidelity
(Wi-Fi) standard,
802.11i. WPA provides more sophisticated data encryption than WEP. WPA is designed for corporate networks and
small-business environments where more wireless traffic allows quicker discovery of encryption keys by an
unauthorized person.
The encryption method is
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
(TKIP). TKIP addresses WEP’s weaknesses with a re-keying
mechanism, a per-packet mixing function, a message integrity check, and an extended initialization vector, however
TKIP also has vulnerabilities.
Wi-Fi Protected Access 2
(WPA2) is an enhanced version of WPA. WPA2 uses the
Advanced Encryption Standard
(AES) instead of TKIP. AES supports 128-bit, 192-bit and 256-bit keys. WPA/WPA2 also provide strong user
authentication based on 802.1x EAP.
To configure WPA/WPA2 encryption on a WLAN:
1. Select
Configuration
>
Wireless
>
Wireless LANs
to display a high-level display of the existing WLANs.
2. Select the
Add
button to create an additional WLAN or select an existing WLAN and select
Edit
to modify the
properties of an existing WLAN.
3. Select
Security
.
4. Select the
WPA/WPA2-TKIP
radio button from within the Select Encryption field.
The screen populates with the parameters required to define a WLAN WPA/WPA2-TKIP configuration for the
WLAN.
