TTLS
Tunneled Transport Layer Security. These settings define the
protocol and the credentials used to authenticate a user. In TTLS,
the client uses EAP-TLS to validate the server and create a TLS-
encrypted channel between the client and server. The client can
use another authentication protocol, typically password-based
protocols, such as MD5 Challenge over this encrypted channel to
enable server validation. The challenge and response packets are
sent over a non-exposed TLS encrypted channel. TTLS
implementations today support all methods defined by EAP, as well
as several older methods (CHAP, PAP, MS-CHAP and MS-CHAPv2).
TTLS can easily be extended to work with new protocols by
defining new attributes to support new protocols.
WEP
Wired Equivalent Privacy. Wired Equivalent Privacy, 64- and 128-
bit (64-bit is sometimes referred to as 40-bit). This is a low-level
encryption technique designed to give the user about the same
amount of privacy that he would expect from a LAN. WEP is a
security protocol for wireless local area networks (WLANs) defined
in the 802.11b standard. WEP is designed to provide the same
level of security as that of a wired LAN. WEP aims to provide
security by data over radio waves so that it is protected as it is
transmitted from one end point to another.
WEP Key
Either a pass phrase or hexadecimal key.
The pass phrase must be 5 ASCII characters for 64-bit WEP or 13
ASCII characters for 128-bit WEP. For pass phrases, 0-9, a-z, A-Z,
and ~!@#$%^&*()_+|`-={}|[]\:";'<?,./ are all valid characters.
The hex key must be 10 hexadecimal characters (0-9, A-F) for 64-
bit WEP or 26 hexadecimal characters (0-9, A-F) for 128-bit WEP.
Wi-Fi
Wireless Fidelity. Is meant to be used generically when referring of
any type to 802.11 network, whether 802.11b, 802.11a, or dual-
band.
Wireless
Router
A stand-alone wireless hub that allows any computer that has a
wireless network adapter to communicate with another computer
within the same network and to connect to the Internet.
WLAN
Wireless Local-Area Network. A type of local-area network that
uses high-frequency radio waves rather than wires to communicate
between nodes.
WPA
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a security enhancement that
strongly increases the level of data protection and access control
to a wireless network. WPA is an interim standard that will be
replaced with the IEEE’s 802.11i standard upon its completion.
WPA consists of RC4 and TKIP and provides support for BSS
(Infrastructure) mode only. (Not compatible with WPA2.)
