ASUS WLAN Card

Cong - Encryption

The Encryption page allows you to

set up the encryption settings for your

WLAN card. For data condentiality in

a wireless environment, IEEE 802.11

species a Wired Equivalent Privacy

(WEP) algorithm to offer transmission

privacy similar to wired network. WEP

uses keys to encrypt data packets sent

and decrypt data packets received. The

encryption process can scramble frame bits to avoid disclosure to others. Wi-Fi

Protected Access (WPA) is an improved security system for 802.11 that encrypts

data sent over radio waves. WPA is developed to overcome the weakness of the

WEP protocol.

Network Authentication -

Set up authentication for your WLAN card. Options are:

Open -

Sets the network operating in the Open System mode that disables

authentication protection for the network or use the WEP encryption for the

network.

Shared -

Sets the network operating in the Shared Key mode that uses the

WEP encryption for your network.

WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK -

Use the WPA Pre-Shared Key/WPA2 Pre-Shared Key

in the Infrastructure mode for authentication.

Data Encryption -

In the Open and Shared authentication modes, options are:

Disabled and WEP.

Disabled -

Disables the encryption protection for your WLAN card.

WEP -

Encrypts the data before it is transmitted over the air. You can

communicate with wireless devices that use the same WEP keys.

In the WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK authentication modes, options are: Temporal Key

Integrity Protocol (TKIP) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).

TKIP -

Dynamically generates unique keys to encrypt data packet.

AES -

Offers stronger protection and increases the complexity of wireless

encryption. It is a symmetric 128-bit block encryption method that works

simultaneously on multiple network layers.
