The Wireless Access Point — Security screen displays a default fac-

tory setting of AES encryption, but the encryption key is not set and it 

will not communicate to any clients unless the encryption is set by the 

CryptoOfficer. 

: One of the encryption options must be selected and applied in 

order for the AP to communicate with other APs.

The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) was selected by National 

Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in October 2000 as an up-

grade from the previous DES standard.  AES uses a 128-bit block cipher 

algorithm and encryption technique for protecting computerized infor-

mation.  With the ability to use even larger 192-bit and 256-bit keys, if 

desired, it offers higher security against brute-force attack than the old 

56-bit DES keys.

The Key Generator button automatically generates a randomized key 

of the appropriate length. This key is initially shown in plain text so the 

user has the opportunity to copy the key. Once the key is applied, the key 

is no longer displayed in plain text.
