altering them, and resending them. By greatly expanding the size of keys, the
number of keys in use, and by creating an integrity checking mechanism, TKIP
magnifies the complexity and difficulty involved in decoding data on a Wi-Fi
network. TKIP greatly increases the strength and complexity of wireless
encryption, making it far more difficult (if not impossible) for a would-be intruder
to break into a Wi-Fi network.
UART:
Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
WAP:
Wireless Application Protocol. A set of standards to enable wireless
devices to access internet services, such as the World Wide Web and email.
WDS:
Wireless Distribution System. Enables access points to communicate with
one another in order to extend the range of a wireless networks. Used in 802.11g
based access points.
WEP:
Wired-Equivalent Privacy protocol was specified in the IEEE 802.11
standard to provide a WLAN with a minimal level of security and privacy
comparable to a typical wired LAN, using data encryption.
Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™:
The certification standard designating IEEE 802.11-based
wireless local area network (WLAN) products that have passed interoperability
testing requirements developed and governed by the Wi-Fi alliance.
Wi-Fi Interoperability Certificate:
A statement that a product has passed
interoperability testing and will work with other Wi-Fi CERTIFIED products.
Wi-Fi Protected Setup:
Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (previously called Wi-Fi Simple
Config) is an optional certification program developed by the Wi-Fi alliance
designed to ease set up of security enabled Wi-Fi networks in the home and
small office environment. Wi-Fi Protected Setup supports methods (pushing a
button or entering a PIN into a wizard-type application) that are familiar to most
consumers to configure a network and enable security.
Wi-Fi:
A certification mark managed by a trade group called the Wi-Fi Alliance.
Wi-Fi certification encompasses numerous standards including 802.11a,
802.11b, 802.11g, WPA, and more. Equipment must pass compatibility testing to
receive the Wi-Fi mark.
Wireless Gateway:
Term used to differentiate between an access point and a
more-capable device that can share an internet connection, serve DHCP, and
bridge between wired and wireless networks.
Wireless Network:
Devices connected to a network using a centralized wireless
access point.
WLAN:
Wireless Local Area Network. A type of local area network in which data
is sent and received via high-frequency radio waves rather than cables or wires.
WPA:
Wi-Fi Protected Access is a data encryption specification for 802.11
wireless networks that replaces the weaker WEP. It improves on WEP by using
dynamic keys, Extensible Authentication Protocol to secure network access, and
an encryption method called Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) to secure
data transmissions.
