WPA
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) uses Temporal
Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) to improved data
encryption. WPA was designed to enable use of
wireless legacy systems employing WEP while
improving security. In addition, user
authentication is enabled using the Extensible
Authentication Protocol (EAP).
-
TKIP or AES-CCMP:
TKIP scrambles keys using a hashing
algorithm and, by adding an
integrity-checking feature, ensures that the
keys haven't been tampered with. The
TKIP improves security especially for legacy hardware, and then the AES-CCMP is a stronger
encryption algorithm for newer hardware.
Simply input up to 63 character /numeric /hexadecimals in the Passphrase field. If your clients use
WPA-TKIP select TKIP as encryption type. If your clients use WPA-AES, select AES-CCMR.
-
Pre-Share Key or 802.1x:
If you don’t have Radius Server, selecting pre-shared key.
If you have installed Radius Servers, select WPA 802.1x and input the Radius Server setting. Use
of Radius Server for key management and authentication requires that you have installed a
separate certification system and each client must have been issued an authentication certificate.
-
Re-keying time:
This is the frequency in which new encryption keys are generated and distributed to the client.
The more frequent re-keying time, the security will be better. For highest security, select the
lowest re-keying interval.
