EAP-GTC The EAP-GTC (Generic Token Card) is similar to the EAP-OTP except with
hardware token cards. The request contains a displayable message, and
the response contains the string read from the hardware token card.
EAP-OTP
EAP-OTP (One-Time Password) is similar to MD5, except it uses
the OTP as the response. The request contains a displayable
message. The OTP method is defined in RFC 2289.
EAP-SIM
Extensible Authentication Protocol-Subscriber Identity Module (EAP-
SIM) authentication can be used with:
● Network Authentication types: Open, Shared, and WPA*-Enterprise,
WPA2*-Enterprise.
● Data Encryption types: None, WEP and CKIP.
A SIM card is a special smart card that is used by Global System for Mobile
Communications (GSM) based digital cellular networks. The SIM card is
used to validate your credentials with the network
EAP-TLS
A type of authentication method that uses EAP and a security
protocol called the Transport Layer Security (TLS). EAP-TLS uses
certificates that use passwords. EAP-TLS authentication supports
dynamic WEP key management.
EAP-TTLS
A type of authentication method that uses EAP and Tunneled
Transport Layer Security (TTLS). EAP-TTLS uses a combination of
certificates and another security method such as passwords.
Encryption Scrambling data so that only the authorized recipient can read it. Usually a
key is needed to interpret the data.
FHSS Frequency-Hop Spread Spectrum. Technology used in radio transmission.
Incompatible with DSSS.
File and
printer sharing
A capability that allows a number of people to view, modify, and print the
same file(s) from different computers.
Fragmentation
threshold
The threshold at which the wireless adapter breaks the packet into multiple
frames. This determines the packet size and affects the throughput of the
transmission.
GHz
(Gigahertz)
A unit of frequency equal to 1,000,000,000 cycles per second.
Host computer The computer that is directly connected to the Internet via a modem or
network adapter.
Infrastructure
network
A wireless network centered around an access point. In this
environment, the access point not only provides communication
with the wired network, but also mediates wireless network traffic
in the immediate neighborhood.
