AES – is short for Advanced Encryption Standard. AES is a symmetric
128-bit block data encryption technique. It has a fixed block size of
128-bits and a key size of 128, 192, or 256-bits.
Pass Phrase – Pass Phrase also named Shared Secret which is used
only when enabling WPA-PSK authentication. A passphrase is a string
of characters longer than the usual password (which is typically from
four to 16 characters long) that is used in creating a digital signature (an
encoded signature that proves to someone that it was really you who sent a
message) or in an encryption or a decryption of a message. It is applicable
only when you select WPA-PSK authentication. You will need to enter
an 8~63 characters password to start the encryption process, which will
generate four WEP keys automatically.
RADIUS – is short for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service,
an authentication and accounting system used by many Internet Service
Providers (ISPs). RADIUS setup is used to set up additional parameters for
authorizing wireless clients through RADIUS server. The RADIUS setup
is required when you select to use Open System with 802.1x or WPA
authentication.
