Data Encryption 
Encryption Type  WirelessGRID bridges support three types of 
encryption. Default: Auto. 
WEP  Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption (64, 128, or 152 
bit key lengths can be registered). The 64 bit keys must be entered as 
10 hexadecimal digits in the range of 0-9, A-F, or a-f. If 128 bit is 
chosen, enter 26 hexadecimal digits. If 152 bit is chosen, enter 32 
digits. 
 
AES/WPA2  Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) data encryption is 
the most robust data encryption in the market today. It was designed to 
comply with U.S. requirements [Federal Information Processing 
Standard (FIPS)] for use by U.S. government organizations to protect 
sensitive, unclassified information. The WirelessGRID supports 128 bit 
AES keys. Enter 26 hexadecimal digits. 
 
TKIP  Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) is a WPA security 
standard that uses the original encryption key as a starting point to 
derive encryption keys mathematically. TKIP automatically changes and 
rotates encryption keys so that the same encryption key is never used 
twice. This is an automated encryption key switching process that does 
not require user intervention.  
 
 
Status  The status button indicates the current encryption state of your 
bridge. Default: Disabled. 
  
Disabled  No data encryption is enforced on your bridge. 
 
Enabled  Data encryption is enforced on your bridge.  
 
  
Key Update Interval – Specifies the group key update interval in 
seconds. The value is only used with dynamic keys and can be either 0 
(disabled) or any value above 15. Default: 0. 
 
Security Server  For use with dynamic keys utilizing 802.1x security. 
Click on Configure to set up the Security Server if dynamic (802.1x) 
encryption is selected for the bridge on the security screen.  
 
 
NOTE 
This function in not supported in the current release.  Refer to the section on 
the Security Server tab for detailed instructions on how to configure the 
Security Server.
