Static AES Key/Open System Authentication
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
necessary, it offers higher security against brute-force attack than the old
56-bit DES keys. For even greater security, you can select a 192-bit or 256-
bit key.

Static 3DES Key/Open System Authentication
The 3e-525A AP in gateway mode can accommodate advanced static
encryption using either AES or 3DES.
3DES is modeled on the older DES standard but encrypts data three
times over.
To use 3DES, enter a 192-bit key as 48 hexidecimal digit (0-9, a-f, or A-
F). Enter the key twice for verification.
