Glossary-1

IEEE 802.3-2005 specification for 10 Mbps Ethernet over two pairs of Category 3 or 
better UTP cable.

IEEE 802.3-2005 specification for 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet over two pairs of 
Category 5 or better UTP cable.

An internetworking device that seamlessly connects wired and wireless networks. 
Access points attached to a wired network, support the creation of multiple radio 
cells that enable roaming throughout a facility.

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)

An encryption algorithm that implements symmetric key cryptography. AES provides 
very strong encryption using a completely different ciphering algorithm to TKIP and 
WEP.

The process to verify the identity of a client requesting network access. IEEE 802.11 
specifies two forms of authentication: open system and shared key.

The core infrastructure of a network. The portion of the network that transports 
information from one central location to another central location where it is unloaded 
onto a local system.

A signal periodically transmitted from the access point that is used to identify the 
service set, and to maintain contact with wireless clients.

Broadcast keys are sent to stations using dynamic keying. Dynamic broadcast key 
rotation is often used to allow the access point to generate a random group key and 
periodically update all key-management capable wireless clients.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

Provides a framework for passing configuration information to hosts on a TCP/IP 
network. DHCP is based on the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP), adding the capability 
of automatic allocation of reusable network addresses and additional configuration 
options.
