5.4.3 Wireless Security – WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK,
Security Mode: Select WPA-PSK, or WPA2-PSK from the drop-down list if your
wireless network uses WPA pre-shared key.
Encryption: Select TKIP or AES from the drop-down list if your wireless network
uses this encryption. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) was designed to improve upon
the security features of WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). The technology is designed
to work with existing Wi-Fi products that have been enabled with WEP. WPA
provides improved data encryption through the Temporal Integrity Protocol (TKIP),
which scrambles the keys using a hashing algorithm and by adding an integrity
checking feature which makes sure that keys haven’t been tampered with.
Passphrase: Specify a passphrase that is shared amongst the Access Points and
clients.
