Access Point
(AP)
A device that connects wireless devices to another network. For
example, a wireless LAN, Internet modem or others.
ad hoc
network
A communication configuration in which every computer has the
same capabilities, and any computer can initiate a communication
session. Also known as a peer-to-peer network or a computer-to-
computer network.
AES-CCMP
Advanced Encryption Standard - Counter CBC-MAC Protocol is the
new method for privacy protection of wireless transmissions
specified in the IEEE 802.11i standard. AES-CCMP provides a
stronger encryption method than TKIP.
Authentication Verifies the identity of a user logging onto a network. Passwords,
digital certificates, smart cards and biometrics are used to prove
the identity of the client to the network. Passwords and digital
certificates are also used to identify the network to the client.
BER
Bit error rate. The ratio of errors to the total number of bits being
sent in a data transmission from one location to another.
Bit Rate
The total number of bits (ones and zeros) per second that a
network connection can support. Note that this bit rate will vary,
under software control, with different signal path conditions.
Broadcast
SSID
Used to allow an access point to respond to clients on a wireless
network by sending probes.
BSSID
A unique identifier for each wireless client on a wireless network.
The Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID) is the Ethernet MAC
address of each adapter on the network.
CA (certificate
authority)
A corporate certification authority implemented on a server. In
addition, Internet Explorer’s certificate can import a certificate
from a file. A trusted CA certificate is stored in the root store.
CCX
Cisco Compatible eXtension. Cisco Compatible Extensions Program
ensures that devices used on Cisco wireless LAN infrastructure
meet the security, management and roaming requirements.
Certificate
Used for client authentication. A certificate is registered on the
authentication server (i.e., RADIUS server) and used by the
authenticator.
CKIP
Cisco Key Integrity Protocol (CKIP) is a Cisco proprietary security
protocol for encryption in 802.11 media. CKIP uses a key message
integrity check and message sequence number to improve 802.11
security in infrastructure mode. CKIP is Cisco's version of TKIP.
Client
computer
The computer that gets its Internet connection by sharing either
the host computer's connection or the Access Point's connection.
DSSS
Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum. Technology used in radio
transmission. Incompatible with FHSS.
