Safeguarding Your Network 2-3

v1.0, February 2010

features that affect security are listed in Table 2-2 on page 2-4. For more details on wireless

security methods, see the online document “Wireless Networking Basics” in Appendix B.

Table 2-1. Wireless Security Options

Security Type Description

None. No wireless security. Recommended only for

troubleshooting wireless connectivity. Do not run an

unsecured wireless network unless it is your

intention to provide free Internet access for the

public.

WEP. Wired Equivalent Privacy. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption

provides moderate data security. WEP Shared Key

authentication and WEP data encryption can be

defeated by a determined eavesdropper using

publicly available tools.

For more information, see “Configuring WEP

Wireless Security” on page 2-7.

WPA-PSK (TKIP). WPA-PSK standard encryption

with TKIP encryption type.

WPA2-PSK (AES). Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2

with Pre-Shared Key; WPA2-PSK standard

encryption with the AES encryption type.

WPA-PSK (TKIP) + WPA2-PSK (AES). Mixed mode.

Wi-Fi Protected Access with Pre-Shared Key (WPA-

PSK and WPA2-PSK) data encryption provides

extremely strong data security, very effectively

blocking eavesdropping. Because WPA and WPA2

are relatively new standards, older wireless adapters

and devices might not support them.

For more information, see “Configuring WPA-PSK

and WPA2-PSK Wireless Security” on page 2-9.
