Back to Contents Glossary of Terms: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection User Guide Glossary Numerical A B C D E F G H I L M N O P R S T W Term Definition 802.11 The 802.11 standard refers to a family of specifications developed by the IEEE for wireless LAN technology.
AES-CCMP Advanced Encryption Standard - Counter CBC-MAC Protocol is the new method for privacy protection of wireless transmissions specified in the IEEE 802.11i standard. AES-CCMP provides a stronger encryption method than TKIP. Authentication Verifies the identity of a user logging onto a network.
EAP-GTC The EAP-GTC (Generic Token Card) is similar to the EAP-OTP except with hardware token cards. The request contains a displayable message, and the response contains the string read from the hardware token card. EAP-OTP EAP-OTP (One-Time Password) is similar to MD5, except it uses the OTP as the response.
Internet Protocol (IP) address The address of a computer that is attached to a network. Part of the address designates which network the computer is on, and the other part represents the host identification. LAN Local area network. A high-speed, low-error data network covering a relatively small geographic area.
RADIUS Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) is an authentication and accounting system that verifies users credentials and grants access to requested resources. RF Radio Frequency. The international unit for measuring frequency is Hertz (Hz), which is equivalent to the older unit of cycles per second.
TLS Transport Layer Security. A type of authentication method using the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) and a security protocol called the Transport Layer Security (TLS). EAP-TLS uses certificates which use passwords. EAP-TLS authentication supports dynamic WEP key management.
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.

For stronger security, use a 128-bit key. If you use encryption, all wireless devices on your wireless network must use the same encryption keys.
There are different 802.1x authentication types, each provides a different approach to authentication but all employ the same 802.1x protocol and framework for communication between a client and an access point. In most protocols, upon the completion of the 802.
An IP address is assigned for the dial-up client. ● Accounting phase: Collects information on resource usage for the purpose of trend analysis, auditing, session time billing, or cost allocation. How 802.1x Authentication Works A simplified description of 802.
The second generation of WPA that complies with the IEEE TGi specification is known as WPA2. Enterprise Mode: Enterprise Mode verifies network users through a RADIUS or other authentication server. WPA utilizes 128-bit encryption keys and dynamic session keys to ensure your wireless network's privacy and enterprise security.
Message Digest 5 (MD5) is a one-way authentication method that uses user names and passwords. This method does not support key management, but does require a pre- configured key if data encryption is used. It can be safely deployed for wireless authentication inside EAP tunnel methods.
PEAP is a new Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) IEEE 802.1x authentication type designed to take advantage of server-side EAP-Transport Layer Security (EAP-TLS) and to support various authentication methods, including users' passwords and one-time passwords, and Generic Token Cards.
Centralized Key Management (CCKM), an access point configured to provide Wireless Domain Services (WDS) takes the place of the RADIUS server and authenticates the client without perceptible delay in voice or other time-sensitive applications. CKIP Cisco Key Integrity Protocol (CKIP) is Cisco proprietary security protocol for encryption in 802.
Mixed-Cell Mode Some access points, for example Cisco 350 or Cisco 1200, support environments in which not all client stations support WEP encryption; this is called Mixed-Cell Mode.
