3.3 Security
In the
“Security”
, you can enable or disable the WEP, TKIP and AES WLAN security
mechansims for the adapter.
WEP is an authentication algorithm, which protects authorized Wireless LAN users against
eavesdropping. WEP has been found that it has some security problems. TKIP is a
temporary quick-fix method defined in IEEE 802.11i standard to quickly overcome the
inherent weaknesses in WEP security. AES has been developed to ensure the highest
degree of security and authenticity for digital information and it is the most advanced
solution defined by IEEE 802.11i for the security in the wireless network.
The security setting must be the the same on the wireless devices within the network. This
adapter supports 64/128-bit WEP, TKIP and AES encryption functions.
