Overview of the WFS709TP

The Layer 2 encryption option you can select depends upon the authentication method chosen. 

 lists the authentication methods available, with their corresponding encryption options.

You can configure the following data encryption options for the WLAN:

•

Null. No encryption is used and packets passing between the wireless client and WFS709TP 
are in clear text.

•

Wired Equivalent Protocol (WEP). Defined by the original IEEE 802.11 standard, WEP 
uses the RC4 stream cipher with 40-bit and 128-bit encryption keys. The management and 
distribution of WEP keys is performed outside of the 802.11 protocol. There are two forms of 
WEP keys:

–

Static WEP requires you to manually enter the key for each client and on the WFS709TP.

–

Dynamic WEP allows the keys to be automatically derived for each client for a specific 
authentication method during the authentication process. Dynamic WEP requires 802.1x 
authentication.

•

Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP ensures that the encryption key is changed 
for every data packet. You specify TKIP encryption for WPA and WPA-PSK authentication.

•

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). AES is an encryption cipher that uses the Counter-
mode CBC-MAC (Cipher Block Chaining-Message Authentication Code) Protocol (CCMP) 
mandated by the IEEE 802.11i standard. AES-CCMP is specifically designed for IEEE 802.11 
encryption and encrypts parts of the 802.11 MAC headers as well as the data payload. You can 
specify AES-CCMP encryption with WPA2 or WPA2-PSK authentication.

•

Mixed TKIP/AES-CCM. This option allows the WFS709TP to use TKIP encryption with 
WPA or WPA-PSK clients and use AES encryption with WPA2 or WPA2-PSK clients. Mixed 
TKIP/AES-CCM allows you to deploy the system in environments containing existing 
WLANs that use different authentication and encryption methods.
