5.4.2.2 Wireless Security – WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK
Security
Mode
: Select
WPA-PSK,
or
WPA2-PSK
from the drop-down list
if your wireless network uses WPA pre-shared key.
Encryption
: Select
TKIP
or
AES
from the drop-down list if your wireless
network uses this encryption. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) was
designed to improve upon the security features of WEP (Wired Equivalent
Privacy). The technology is designed to work with existing Wi-Fi products
that have been enabled with WEP. WPA provides improved data
encryption through the Temporal Integrity Protocol (TKIP), which
scrambles the keys using a hashing algorithm and by adding an integrity
checking feature which makes sure that keys haven’t been tampered with.
Passphrase
: Specify a passphrase that is shared amongst the Access
Points and clients.
