• Both wpa and wpa2 improve data encryption by using temporal key integrity protocol tkip message integrity check mic and ieee 802 x wpa and wpa2 use advanced encryption standard aes in the counter mode with cipher block chaining message authentication code protocol ccmp to offer stronger encryption than tkip 436
• Eap md5 eap tls eap ttls peap leap 436
• Encryption 436
• For added security certificate based authentications eap tls eap ttls and peap use dynamic keys for data encryption they are often deployed in corporate environments but for public deployment a simple user name and password pair is more practical the following table is a comparison of the features of authentication types 436
• If both an ap and the wireless clients support wpa2 and you have an external radius server use wpa2 for stronger data encryption if you don t have an external radius server you should use wpa2 psk wpa2 pre shared key that only requires a single identical password entered into each access point wireless gateway and wireless client as long as the passwords match a wireless client will be granted access to a wlan 436
• If the ap or the wireless clients do not support wpa2 just use wpa or wpa psk depending on whether you have an external radius server or not 436
• If this feature is enabled it is not necessary to configure a default encryption key in the wireless security configuration screen you may still configure and store keys but they will not be used while dynamic wep is enabled 436
• Key differences between wpa or wpa2 and wep are improved data encryption and user authentication 436
• Note eap md5 cannot be used with dynamic wep key exchange 436
• Nxc series user s guide 436
• Select wep only when the ap and or wireless clients do not support wpa or wpa2 wep is less secure than wpa or wpa2 436
