WEP = Wired equivalent privacy TKIP = Temporal Key Integrity Protocol CCMP = Counter Mode with Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol AP security: •WEP, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA-Enterprise, WPA2-Enterprise, WEP 802.1X WDS security: •WEP, TKIP, AES WEP: •40-bit encryption key •Various key sizes – longer key requires interception of more packets to crack •Outdated, many flaws, no longer used TKIP (WPA): •128-bit per-packet key •Part of the IEEE 802.11i standard •Avoids major problems with WEP AES (WPA2): •256-bit •IEEE 802.11i standard •CCMP as the standard encryption protocol; more secure than WEP and TKIP protocols of WPA MAC ACL (address filtering) Go back to Wireless Bridge home page |
