Authentication Type The IEEE 802 11b g n standard describes a simple authentication method between the wireless stations and AP Three authentication types are defined Auto Open and Shared e Open mode is implemented for ease of use and when security is not an issue The wireless station and the AP or peer computer do not share a secret key Thus the wireless stations can associate with any AP or peer computer and listen to any transmitted data that is not encrypted e Shared mode involves a shared secret key to authenticate the wireless station to the AP or peer computer This requires you to enable the wireless LAN security and use same settings on both the wireless station and the AP or peer computer e Auto authentication mode allows the NWD Series to switch between the open system and shared key modes automatically Use the auto mode if you do not know the authentication mode of the other wireless stations 3 3 2 WPA PSK and WPA2 PSK Wi Fi Protected Access WPA is a subset of the IEEE 802 11i standard WPA2 IEEE 802 11i is a wireless security standard that defines stronger encryption authentication and key management than WPA Key differences between WPA 2 and WEP are improved data encryption and user authentication Both WPA and WPA2 improve data encryption by using Temporal Key Integrity Protocol TKIP Message Integrity Check MIC and IEEE 802 1x WPA and WPA2 use Advanced Encryption Standard AES in the Counter mode with
