Some wireless devices don t work properly if SSID isn t broadcast for example the D link DWL 120 USB 802 11b adapter Generally if your client hardware supports operation with SSID disabled it s not a bad idea to run that way to enhance network security However it s no replacement for WEP MAC filtering or other protections 4 15 What is Wi Fi Protected Access WPA Wi Fi s original security mechanism Wired Equivalent Privacy WEP has been viewed as insufficient for securing confidential business communications A longer term solution the IEEE 802 111 standard is under development However since the IEEE 802 111 standard is not expected to be published until the end of 2003 several members of the WI Fi Alliance teamed up with members of the IEEE 802 111 task group to develop a significant near term enhancement to Wi Fi security Together this team developed Wi Fi Protected Access To upgrade a WLAN network to support WPA Access Points will require a WPA software upgrade Clients will require a software upgrade for the network interface card and possibly a software update for the operating system For enterprise networks an 34 USER S MANUAL OF WLAN ACCESS POINT Version 1 0 authentication server typically one that supports RADIUS and the selected EAP authentication protocol will be added to the network 4 16 What is WPA2 It is the second generation of WPA WPA2 is based on the final IEEE 802 111 amendment to the
