Wireless Security Overview

Wireless technology is evolving rapidly to accommodate the need for stronger security. The

following security schemes are supported in Netgear products:

•WEP

Wired Equivalent Privacy is an existing, widely implemented and supported, data encryption

protocol for 802.11 wireless networks. All wireless nodes on the network are configured with

a static 64-bit or 128-bit Shared Key for data encryption but authentication is optional.

•WPA

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a new specification of standards-based, interoperable

security enhancements that increase the level of data protection and access control for wireless

networks. WPA requires authentication and features strong data encryption that includes

dynamic key generation. WPA uses the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) via WPA

enables wireless access points using a modified version of the 802.1x protocols to access

RADIUS and certificate servers which enable various authentication schemes such as

Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Protected EAP (PEAP).

• WPA-PSK

WPA-Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK) performs authentication and encryption with a only a

wireless access point based on a preshared key without needing to access RADIUS or

certificate servers via the 802.1x protocols.
