Help - Authentication DCP-T500W

The document discusses authentication and encryption methods for wireless networks. It describes that wireless networks use security settings to authenticate devices and encrypt data transmission. It then lists and explains the most common authentication methods including open system, shared key, WPA/WPA2-PSK, LEAP, EAP-FAST/PEAP/EAP-TTLS, and EAP-TLS. The document also covers inner authentication methods and encryption methods including WEP, TKIP, AES, and CKIP.

Authentication Method and Encryption Mode

Glossary Trouble Shooting Solutions Center

Authentication Method and Encryption Mode

Most Wireless networks use some kind of security settings. These


security settings define the authentication (how the device identifies
itself to the network) and encryption (how the data is encrypted as it is
sent on the network). If you do not correctly specify these options
when you are configuring your wireless device, it will not be able to
connect to the Wireless network. Therefore care must be taken when
configuring these options. Please refer to the information below to see
which authentication and encryption methods your wireless device
supports.

Authentication Methods

Open System
Wireless devices are allowed access to the network without any
authentication.

Shared Key (Infrastructure mode only)


A secret pre-determined key is shared by all devices that will
access the wireless network.

WPA/WPA2-PSK
A secret pre-determined passphrase is shared by all devices that
will access the wireless network. This authentication method
enables you to communicate securely using a powerful encryption
method.
WPA/WPA2-PSK can only be used in a wireless infrastructure
network.

LEAP (Not available for some models)


Cisco® LEAP (Light Extensible Authentication Protocol) uses user
ID and password for authentication.

EAP-FAST/PEAP/EAP-TTLS (Not available for some models)


Cisco® EAP-FAST (Extensible Authentication Protocol-Flexible
Authentication via Secure Tunneling)/ PEAP (Protected Extensible
Authentication Protocol) /EAP-TTLS (Extensible Authentication
Protocol-Tunneled Transport Layer Security) uses user ID and
password for authentication.You can verify the server Certificate
using the CA certificate.

EAP-TLS (Not available for some models)


EAP-TLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol-Transport Layer
Security) uses a user ID and client certificate for authentication.
You can also verify the SSL server certificate by using the CA
certificate.

Inner Authentication Methods (Not available for some models)

Authentication Method and Encryption Mode

You need to specify one of the inner authentication methods according


to the one you selected.

NONE
MS-CHAPv2 is used for Provisioning, and the method for EAP-
FAST corresponding to second phase authentication method.

MS-CHAPv2
MS-CHAPv2(Microsoft-Challenge Handshake Authentication
Protocol version 2) is an internal authentication method for EAP-
FAST/PEAP/EAP-TTLS.

GTC
GTC(Generic Token Card) is an internal authentication method
for EAP-FAST/PEAP.

MS-CHAP
MS-CHAP(Microsoft-Challenge Handshake Authentication
Protocol) is an internal authentication method for EAP-TTLS.

CHAP
CHAP(Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) is an
internal authentication method for EAP-TTLS.

PAP
PAP(Password Authentication Protocol) is an internal
authentication method for EAP-TTLS.

Encryption Methods

None
No encryption method is used.

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)


Data is transmitted and received with a secure key of the user's
choice.

TKIP
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) removes the predictability
that intruders could rely upon to exploit security weaknesses
brought about with the use of manually assigned WEP keys. TKIP
keys are automatically generated and are longer that WEP keys.

AES
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is Wi-Fi® authorized strong
encryption standard.

CKIP
The original Key Integrity Protocol for LEAP by Cisco Systems,
Inc.
