• Encryption Type – Selects the data encryption type to use. (Default: determined
by the Security Mode selected)
-
None : Disables data encryption.
- WEP : Selects WEP keys for data encryption.
- TKIP : Uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) keys for encryption. WPA
specifies TKIP as the data encryption method to replace WEP. TKIP avoids the
problems of WEP static keys by dynamically changing data encryption keys.
- AES : Uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) keys for encryption. WPA2
uses AES Counter-Mode encryption with Cipher Block Chaining Message
Authentication Code (CBC-MAC) for message integrity. The AES
Counter-Mode/CBCMAC Protocol (AES-CCMP) provides extremely robust data
confidentiality using a 128-bit key. Use of AES-CCMP encryption is specified as
a standard requirement for WPA2. Before implementing WPA2 in the network,
be sure client devices are upgraded to WPA2-compliant hardware.
- TKIP/AES : Uses either TKIP or AES keys for encryption. WPA/WPA2 mixed
modes allow both WPA and WPA2 clients to associate to a common SSID
interface. In mixed mode, the unicast encryption cipher (TKIP or AES-CCMP) is
negotiated for each client.
• Default Key ID – Sets the WEP key used
for authentication.
(Default: 1; Range: 1~4)
