Chapter 6 Wireless Security
6.2.1 Data Encryption
WEP provides a mechanism for encrypting data using encryption keys. Both the AP and the
wireless stations must use the same WEP key to encrypt and decrypt data. Your ZyAIR allows
you to configure up to four 64-bit or 128-bit WEP keys, but only one key can be enabled at
any one time.
6.2.2 Authentication
Three different methods can be used to authenticate wireless stations to the network:
Open
System
,
Shared Key
, and
Auto
. The following figure illustrates the steps involved.
Figure 30 WEP Authentication Steps
Open system authentication involves an unencrypted two-message procedure. A wireless
station sends an open system authentication request to the AP, which will then automatically
accept and connect the wireless station to the network. In effect, open system is not
authentication at all as any station can gain access to the network.
Shared key authentication involves a four-message procedure. A wireless station sends a
shared key authentication request to the AP, which will then reply with a challenge text
message. The wireless station must then use the AP’s default WEP key to encrypt the
challenge text and return it to the AP, which attempts to decrypt the message using the AP’s
default WEP key. If the decrypted message matches the challenge text, the wireless station is
authenticated.
