Encryption 127
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 127
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 127
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 127
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 127
Key differences between wpa or wpa2 and wep are improved data encryption and user authentication 127
Note eap md5 cannot be used with dynamic wep key exchange 127
Nwd2105 user s guide 127
Select wep only when the ap and or wireless clients do not support wpa or wpa2 wep is less secure than wpa or wpa2 127
Table 30 comparison of eap authentication types 127
Tkip uses 128 bit keys that are dynamically generated and distributed by the authentication server aes advanced encryption standard is a block cipher that uses a 256 bit mathematical algorithm 127
Wi fi protected access wpa is a subset of the ieee 802 1i standard wpa2 ieee 802 1i is a wireless security standard that defines stronger encryption authentication and key management than wpa 127
Wpa and wpa2 127
Wpa improves data encryption by using temporal key integrity protocol tkip message integrity check mic and ieee 802 x wpa2 also uses tkip when required for compatibility reasons but offers stronger encryption than tkip with advanced encryption standard aes in the counter mode with cipher block chaining message authentication code protocol ccmp 127
