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.
IEEE
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is an
organization involved in defining computing and communications
standards.
Internet Protocol (IP)
address
The address of a computer that is attached to a network. Part of the
address designates which network the computer is on, and the other part
represents the host identification.
LAN (Local Area
Network)
A high-speed, low-error data network covering a relatively small
geographic area.
LEAP (Light
Extensible
Authentication
A version of Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). LEAP is a
proprietary extensible authentication protocol developed by Cisco that
provides a challenge-response authentication mechanism and dynamic
