Appendix III Certificate Application for WPA mode
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a specification of standards-based,
interoperable security enhancement that strongly increases the level of data
protection (encryption) and access control (authentication) in your wireless
network. The technical components of WPA include Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol (TKIP) for dynamic key exchange, and 802.1x for authentication.
WPA requires a RADIUS Server to complete the authentication among wireless
stations and Access Points. Typically, this mode is used in an enterprise
environment. WPA-PSK does not require a RADIUS Server and is very convenient
for home/SOHO users. In this chapter, we will explain how to apply for a
certificate in order to access to a wireless network using WPA mode.
NOTE
For Windows XP users with Service Pack 1 (SP1), you need to
upgrade to SP2, available from the Microsoft website or to install
the two patch files provided in the Product CD.
