SSID
Service Set Identifier, a 32-character unique identifier attached to the header of packets sent over a
WLAN that acts as a password when a mobile device tries to connect to the BSS. The SSID
differentiates one WLAN from another, so all access points and all devices attempting to connect to a
specific WLAN must use the same SSID. A device will not be permitted to join the BSS unless it can
provide the unique SSID. Because the SSID is broadcast in plain text, it does not supply any security
to the network.
