ZyXEL Communications NWA-3163 & NWA-3166 User Manual

NWA-3160 Series User’s Guide

This chapter describes how your NWA can use certificates as a means of 
authenticating wireless clients. It gives background information about public-key 
certificates and explains how to use them.

A certificate contains the certificate owner’s identity and public key. Certificates 
provide a way to exchange public keys for use in authentication.
