Using wireless mode
the unique SSID. An SSID can be broadcast by the network router, allowing devices to
detect it as an available network. An SSID does not supply security to the network.
SSL—Secure Sockets Layer: a commonly used encryption scheme used by many
online retail and banking sites to protect the financial integrity of transactions.
TCP/IP—Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol: the underlying technology
behind the Internet and communications between computers in a network.
URL— Uniform Resource Locator: also referred to as a Web address, since it
identifies the location of a file or resource on the Web. For example, the URL for the
Eastman Kodak Company Web site is http://www.kodak.com.
WEP—Wired Equivalent Privacy: basic wireless security provided by Wi-Fi. In some
instances, WEP may be all a home or small-business user needs to protect wireless
data. WEP is available in 40-bit (also called 64-bit), or in 108-bit (also called 128-bit)
encryption modes. As 108-bit encryption provides a longer algorithm that takes
longer to decode, it can provide better security than basic 40-bit (64-bit) encryption.
WEP key—A text string used for WEP security on a Wi-Fi wireless network. A WEP
key with 10 or 23 characters can include numbers and the letters A - F and are not
case-sensitive. 5 and 13 character WEP keys can include numbers and all letters (as
well as some special characters) and are case sensitive.
WPA—Wi-Fi Protected Access: a Wi-Fi security standard that provides a high level of
wireless network security. It uses data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys and ensures that the keys haven’t been
tampered with. User authentication is performed through the Extensible
Authentication Protocol (EAP) to ensure that only authorized network users can
access the network.
Wi-Fi—Wireless Fidelity: a term developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance commonly used to
describe any type of 802.11 standard wireless network. Products tested and approved
as “Wi-Fi Certified” (a registered trademark) by the Wi-Fi Alliance are certified as
interoperable with each other, even if they are from different manufacturers.
