Security
The main items for wireless security are authentication and encryption.
Authentication methods which are secure allow the clients (also called
stations or STA) you want onto the network, while keeping others off of the
network. Encryption is used, both in some of the authentication methods and
in the regular transmission of data once the client has successfully completed
the authentication process.
