A specific Ad hoc LAN is called a Basic Service Set (BSS). Computers in a BSS
must be configured with the same BSS ID.
6. What is WEP
？
WEP is Wired Equivalent Privacy, a data privacy mechanism based on a 40 bit
shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802 .11 standard.
7. What is TKIP?
TKIP is a quick-fix method to quickly overcome the inherent weaknesses in WEP
security, especially the reuse of encryption keys. TKIP is involved in the IEEE
802.11i WLAN security standard, and the specification might be officially released
by early 2003.
8. What is AES?
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), a chip-based security, has been developed
to ensure the highest degree of security and authenticity for digital information,
wherever and however communicated or stored, while making more efficient use of
hardware and/or software than previous encryption standards. It is also included in
IEEE 802.11i standard. Compare with AES, TKIP is a temporary protocol for
replacing WEP security until manufacturers implement AES at the hardware level.
9. What is IEEE 802.1x?
802.1x, an IEEE standard that provides an authentication framework for 802-based
LANs. 802.1x will let wireless LANs scale by allowing centralized authentication of
wireless users or stations. Based on the 802.1x framework, any wireless stations try
to connect to the Access Point or Router should be authenticated by an
Authentication Server.
The Authentication Server identifies the wireless station by a set of user name and
password, only wireless stations provide correct user name and password can
connect to the Access Point or Router and access to the network.
