Key Management Protocols Terminology

Acronym Description

WPA Wi-Fi Protected Access. This is an enhanced version of WEP

that does not rely on a static, shared key. It encompasses a

number of security enhancements over WEP, including

improved data encryption via TKIP and 802.11b/g

authentication with EAP. WiFi Alliance security standard is

designed to work with existing 802.11 products and to offer

forward compatibility with 802.11i.

WPA2 Wi-Fi Protected Access. Second generation of WPA security.

Like WPA, WPA2 provides enterprise and home Wi-Fi users

with a high level of assurance that their data remains

protected and that only authorized users can access their

wireless networks.

Authentication Terminology

Acronym Description

EAP Extensible Authentication Protocol. 802.11b/g uses this

protocol to perform authentication. This is not necessarily an

authentication mechanism, but is a common framework for

transporting actual authentication protocols. Intermec

provides a number of EAP protocols for you to choose the best

for your network.

EAP-FAST Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling. A publicly

accessible IEEE 802.1X EAP type developed by Cisco Systems.

It is available as an IETF informational draft. An 802.1X EAP

type that does not require digital certificates, supports a

variety of user and password database types, supports

password expiration and change, and is flexible, easy to

deploy, and easy to manage.

EAP-PEAP Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol. Performs

secure authentication against Windows domains and

directory services. It is comparable to EAP-TTLS both in its

method of operation and its security, though not as flexible.

This does not support the range of inside-the-tunnel

authentication methods supported by EAP-TTLS. Microsoft

and Cisco both support this protocol.
