wired and wireless networks.   

 

Spread Spectrum - Spread Spectrum technology is a wideband radio frequency technique 
developed  by  the  military  for  use  in  reliable,  secure,  mission-critical  communications 
systems. It is designed to trade off bandwidth efficiency for reliability, integrity, and security. 
In other words, more bandwidth is consumed than in the case of narrowband transmission, 
but  the  trade  off  produces  a  signal  that  is,  in  effect,  louder  and  thus  easier  to  detect, 
provided  that  the  receiver  knows  the  parameters  of  the  spread-spectrum  signal  being 
broadcast. If a receiver is not tuned to the right frequency, a spread-spectrum signal looks 
like background noise. There are two main alternatives, Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum 
(DSSS) and Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS). 

 

SSID - Service Set Identification is a thirty-two character (maximum) alphanumeric key 
identifying  a  wireless  local  area  network.  For  the  wireless  devices  in  a  network  to 
communicate with each other, all devices must be configured with the same SSID. This is 
typically the configuration parameter for a wireless PC card. It corresponds to the ESSID in 
the wireless Access Point and to the wireless network name.   

 

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) - A data privacy mechanism based on a 64-bit or 128-bit 
or 152-bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard.   

 

Wi-Fi - A trade name for the 802.11b wireless networking standard, given by the Wireless 
Ethernet  Compatibility  Alliance  (WECA,  see  http://www.wi-fi.net),  an  industry  standards 
group promoting interoperability among 802.11b devices. 

 

WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) - A group of computers and associated 
devices communicate with each other wirelessly, which network serving users 
are limited in a local area.

 

 

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) - A wireless security protocol use TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity 
Protocol) encryption, which can be used in conjunction with a RADIUS server.
