User Manual WLAN 2

A simplified description of 802.1x authentication is: ● A client sends a "request to access" message to an access point. The access point requests the identity of the client. ● The client replies with its identity packet which is passed along to the authentication server. ● The authentication server sends an "accept" packet to the access point. ● The access point places the client port in the authorized state and data traffic is allowed to proceed. 802.1x Features● 802.1x supplicant protocol support ● Support for the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) - RFC 2284 ● Supported Authentication Methods: ❍ EAP TLS Authentication Protocol - RFC 2716 and RFC 2246 ❍ EAP Tunneled TLS (TTLS) ❍ PEAP ● Supports Microsoft Windows XP and Windows 2000 WPA or WPA2Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA or WPA2) is a security enhancement that strongly increases the level of data protection and access control to a wireless network. WPA enforces 802.1x authentication and key-exchange and only works with dynamic encryption keys. To strengthen data encryption, WPA utilizes Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP provides important data encryption enhancements that include a per-packet key mixing function, a message integrity check (MIC) called Michael an extended initialization vector (IV) with sequencing rules, and a rekeying mechanism. With these improvement enhancements, TKIP protects against WEP's known weaknesses.
The second generation of WPA that complies with the IEEE TGi specification is known as WPA2. Enterprise Mode: Enterprise Mode verifies network users through a RADIUS or other authentication server. WPA utilizes 128-bit encryption keys and dynamic session keys to ensure your wireless network's privacy and enterprise security. Enterprise Mode is targeted to corporate or government environments. Personal Mode: Personal Mode requires manual configuration of a pre-shared key (PSK) on the access point and clients. PSK authenticates users via a password, or identifying code, on both the client station and the access point. No authentication server is needed. Personal Mode is targeted to home and small business environments. WPA-Enterprise and WPA2-Enterprise: Provide this level of security on enterprise networks with an 802.1x RADIUS server. An authentication type is selected to match the authentication protocol of the 802.1x server. WPA-Personal and WPA2-Personal: Provide this level of security in the small network or home environment. It uses a password also called a pre-shared key (PSK). The longer the password, the stronger the security of the wireless network. If your wireless access point or router supports WPA-Personal and WPA2-Personal then you should enable it on the access point and provide a long, strong password. The same password entered into access point needs to be used on this computer and all other wireless devices that access the wireless network. NOTE: WPA-Personal and WPA2-Personal are not interoperable. AES-CCMP - (Advanced Encryption Standard - Counter CBC-MAC Protocol) It is the new method for privacy protection of wireless transmissions specified in the IEEE 802.11i standard. AES-CCMP provides a stronger encryption method than TKIP. Choose AES-CCMP as the data encryption method whenever strong data protection is important. NOTE: Some security solutions may not be supported by
your computer’s operating system and may require additional software or hardware as well as wireless LAN infrastructure support. Check with your computer manufacturer for details. TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) is an enhancement to WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) security. TKIP provides per-packet key mixing, a message integrity check and a rekeying mechanism, which fixes the flaws of WEP. TLSA type of authentication method using the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) and a security protocol called the Transport Layer Security (TLS). EAP-TLS uses certificates which use passwords. EAP-TLS authentication supports dynamic WEP key management. The TLS protocol is intended to secure and authenticate communications across a public network through data encryption. The TLS Handshake Protocol allows the server and client to provide mutual authentication and to negotiate an encryption algorithm and cryptographic keys before data is transmitted. TTLSThese settings define the protocol and the credentials used to authenticate a user. In TTLS (Tunneled Transport Layer Security), the client uses EAP-TLS to validate the server and create a TLS-encrypted channel between the client and server. The client can use another authentication protocol, typically password-based protocols, as MD5 Challenge over this encrypted channel to enable server validation. The challenge and response packets are sent over a non-exposed TLS encrypted channel. TTLS implementations today support all methods defined by EAP, as well as several older methods (PAP, CHAP, MS-CHAP and MS-CHAPv2). TTLS can easily be extended to work with new protocols by defining new attributes to support new protocols. Authentication Protocols
● PAP: Password Authentication Protocol is a two way handshake protocol designed for use with PPP. Authentication Protocol Password Authentication Protocol is a plain text password used on older SLIP systems. It is not secure. ● CHAP: Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol is a three way handshake protocol which is considered more secure than PAP (Password Authentication Protocol). ● MS-CHAP (MD4): Uses a Microsoft version of RSA Message Digest 4 challenge and reply protocol. This only works on Microsoft systems and enables data encryption. This authentication method causes all data to be encrypted.PEAPPEAP is a new Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) IEEE 802.1x authentication type designed to take advantage of server-side EAP-Transport Layer Security (EAP-TLS) and to support various authentication methods, including users' passwords and one-time passwords, and Generic Token Cards. Cisco FeaturesCisco LEAP Cisco LEAP (Cisco Light EAP) is a server and client 802.1x authentication through a user-supplied logon password. When a wireless access point communicates with a Cisco LEAP-enabled RADIUS (Cisco Secure Access Control Server [ACS]), Cisco LEAP provides access control through mutual authentication between client wireless adapters and the wireless networks and provides dynamic, individual user encryption keys to help protect the privacy of transmitted data. Cisco Rogue Access Point Security FeatureThe Cisco Rogue Access Point feature provides security protection from an introduction of a rogue access point that could mimic a legitimate access point on a network in order to extract information about user
credentials and authentication protocols that could compromise security. This feature only works with Cisco's LEAP authentication. Standard 802.11 technology does not protect a network from the introduction of a rogue access point. Refer to LEAP Authentication for more information. Fast Roaming (CCKM)When a wireless LAN is configured for fast reconnection, a LEAP-enabled client device can roam from one access point to another without involving the main server. Using Cisco Centralized Key Management (CCKM), an access point configured to provide Wireless Domain Services (WDS) takes the place of the RADIUS server and authenticates the client without perceptible delay in voice or other time-sensitive applications. CKIPCisco Key Integrity Protocol (CKIP) is Cisco proprietary security protocol for encryption in 802.11 media. CKIP uses the following features to improve 802.11 security in infrastructure mode: ● Key Permutation (KP) ● Message Sequence Number 802.11b and 802.11g Mixed Environment Protection ProtocolSome access points, for example Cisco 350 or Cisco 1200, support environments in which not all client stations support WEP encryption; this is called Mixed-Cell Mode. When these wireless networks operate in "optional encryption" mode, client stations that join in WEP mode, send all messages encrypted, and stations that use standard mode send all messages unencrypted. These access points broadcast that the network does not use encryption, but allow clients that use WEP mode. When Mixed-Cell is enabled in a profile, it allows you to connect to access points that are configured for "optional encryption." EAP-FAST
EAP-FAST like EAP-TTLS and PEAP, uses tunneling to protect traffic. The main difference is that EAP-FAST does not use certificates to authenticate. Provisioning in EAP-FAST is negotiated solely by the client as the first communication exchange when EAP-FAST is requested from the server. If the client does not have a pre-shared secret Protected Access Credential (PAC), it is able to initiate a provisioning EAP-FAST exchange to dynamically obtain one from the server. EAP-FAST documents two methods to deliver the PAC: manual delivery through an out-of-band secure mechanism and automatic provisioning. ● Manual delivery mechanisms are any delivery mechanism that the administrator of the network feels is sufficiently secure for their network. ● Automatic provisioning establishes an encrypted tunnel to protect the authentication of the client and the delivery of the PAC to the client. This mechanism, while not as secure as a manual method may be, is more secure than the authentication method used in LEAP. The EAP-FAST method is divided into two parts: provisioning and authentication. The provisioning phase involves the initial delivery of the PAC to the client. This phase only needs to be performed once per client and user. Mixed-Cell ModeSome access points, for example Cisco 350 or Cisco 1200, support environments in which not all client stations support WEP encryption; this is called Mixed-Cell Mode. When these wireless network operate in "optional encryption" mode, client stations that join in WEP mode, send all messages encrypted, and stations that use standard mode, send all messages unencrypted. These access points broadcast that the network does not use encryption, but allows clients that use WEP mode to join . When Mixed-Cell is enabled in a profile, it allows you to connect to access points that are configured for "optional encryption." Radio Management
When this feature is enabled your wireless adapter provides radio management information to the Cisco infrastructure. If the Cisco Radio Management utility is used on the infrastructure, it configures radio parameters, detects interference and rogue access points.

EAP is supposed to head off proprietary authentication systems and let everything from passwords to challenge-response tokens and public-key infrastructure certificates all work smoothly.
EAP-FAST EAP-FAST, like EAP-TTLS and PEAP, uses tunneling to protect traffic. The main difference is that EAP-FAST does not use certificates to authenticate. 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. The OTP mechanism is employed extensively in VPN and PPP scenarios but not in the wireless worldEAP-SIM Extensible Authentication Protocol-Subscriber Identity Module (EAP-SIM) authentication can be used with: ● Network Authentication types: Open, Shared, and WPA2-Enterprise. ● Data Encryption types: None, WEP and CKIP.

PEAP creates an encrypted tunnel similar to the tunnel used in secure web pages (SSL). Inside the encrypted tunnel, a number of other EAP authentication methods can be used to perform client authentication. PEAP requires a TLS certificate on the RADIUS server, but unlike EAP-TLS there is no requirement to have a certificate on the client. PEAP has not been ratified by the IETF. The IETF is currently comparing PEAP and TTLS (Tunneled TLS) to determine an authentication standard for 802.1X authentication in 802.11 wireless systems.

TKIP provides important data encryption enhancements including a re-keying method. TKIP is part of the IEEE 802.11i encryption standard for wireless LANs. TKIP is the next generation of WEP, the Wired Equivalency Protocol, which is used to secure 802.11 wireless LANs. TKIP provides per-packet key mixing, a message integrity check and a re-keying mechanism, thus fixing the flaws of WEP.TLS Transport Layer Security. A type of authentication method using the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) and a security protocol called the Transport Layer Security (TLS). EAP-TLS uses certificates which use passwords. EAP-TLS authentication supports dynamic WEP key management. The TLS protocol is intended to secure and authenticate communications across a public network through data encryption. The TLS Handshake Protocol allows the server and client to provide mutual authentication and to negotiate an encryption algorithm and cryptographic keys before data is transmitted.
TTLS Tunneled Transport Layer Security. These settings define the protocol and the credentials used to authenticate a user. In TTLS, the client uses EAP-TLS to validate the server and create a TLS-encrypted channel between the client and server. The client can use another authentication protocol, typically password-based protocols, such as MD5 Challenge over this encrypted channel to enable server validation. The challenge and response packets are sent over a non-exposed TLS encrypted channel. TTLS implementations today support all methods defined by EAP, as well as several older methods (CHAP, PAP, MS-CHAP and MS-CHAPv2). TTLS can easily be extended to work with new protocols by defining new attributes to support new protocols.WEP Wired Equivalent Privacy. Wired Equivalent Privacy, 64- and 128-bit (64-bit is sometimes referred to as 40-bit). This is a low-level encryption technique designed to give the user about the same amount of privacy that he would expect from a LAN. WEP is a security protocol for wireless local area networks (WLANs) defined in the 802.11b standard. WEP is designed to provide the same level of security as that of a wired LAN. WEP aims to provide security by data over radio waves so that it is protected as it is transmitted from one end point to another.WEP Key Either a pass phrase or hexadecimal key.The pass phrase must be 5 ASCII characters for 64-bit WEP or 13 ASCII characters for 128-bit WEP. For pass phrases, 0-9, a-z, A-Z, and ~!@#$%^&*()_+|`-={}|[]\:";'<>?,./ are all valid characters.The hex key must be 10 hexadecimal characters (0-9, A-F) for 64-bit WEP or 26 hexadecimal characters (0-9, A-F) for 128-bit WEP.Wi-Fi Wireless Fidelity.

(Not compatible with WPA2.)WPA2 Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2). This is the second generation of WPA that complies with the IEEE TGi specification. WPA2 consists of AES encryption, pre-authentication and PMKID caching. It provides support for BSS (Infrastructure) mode and IBSS (Ad hoc) mode. (Not compatible with WPA.)WPA-Enterprise Wi-Fi Protected Access-Enterprise applies to corporate users. A new standards-based, interoperable security technology for wireless LAN (subset of IEEE 802.11i draft standard) that encrypts data sent over radio waves. WPA is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve upon the security features of WEP as follows: ● Improved data encryption through the temporal key integrity protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys using a hashing algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that the keys have not been tampered with. ● User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the extensible authentication protocol (EAP). WEP regulates access to a wireless network based on a computer’s hardware-specific MAC address, which is
relatively simple to be sniffed out and stolen. EAP is built on a more secure public-key encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network. WPA is an interim standard that will be replaced with the IEEE’s 802.11i standard upon its completion.WPA-Personal Wi-Fi Protected Access-Personal provides a level of security in the small network or home environment. WPA-PSK Wi-Fi Protected Access-Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK) mode does not use an authentication server. It can be used with the data encryption types WEP or TKIP. WPA-PSK requires configuration of a pre-shared key (PSK). You must enter a pass phrase or 64 hex characters for a Pre-Shared Key of length 256-bits. The data encryption key is derived from the PSK.Back to TopBack to Contents Trademarks and Disclaimers

Administrator ProfilesAdministrator Profiles are owned and managed by the network administrator or the administrator of this computer. These profiles are common or shared by all users on this computer. However, end users cannot modify these profiles. They can only be modified from the Administrator Tool, which is password protected. There are three types of Administrator Profiles: Persistent, Pre-logon/Common and Voice over IP (VoIP).
Persistent Connection Persistent profiles are applied at boot time or whenever no one is logged on the computer. After a user logs off, a Persistent profile maintains a wireless connection either until the computer is turned off or a different user logs on. Persistent Connect key points: ● The following types of profiles can be created as Persistent profiles: ❍ All profiles that do not require 802.1x authentication (for example, Open authentication with WEP encryption, Open authentication with no encryption).❍ All profiles with 802.1x authentication that have the credentials saved: MD5, LEAP, EAP-FAST. ❍ Profiles with security settings that include the "Use the following user name and password" option.
❍ Profiles that use the machine certificate to authenticate. NOTE: Intel PROSet/Wireless supports machine certificates. However, they are not displayed in the certificate listings. ❍ WPA-Enterprise profiles that do not use a user certificate.❍ WPA-Personal profiles.● Persistent profiles are applied at system power up and after a user logs off.To create a Persistent Profile: 1. Click Include Profiles.2. Click Persistent.3. Click Add to open the General Settings. 4. Wireless Network Name (SSID): Enter the network identifier. 5. Profile Name: Enter a descriptive profile name.6. Operating Mode: Infrastructure is selected. 7. Administrator Profile Type: Persistent: Active when no users are logged on is selected. 8. Click Next. 9. Click Enterprise Security to open the Security Settings. See Enterprise Settings for 802.1x security configuration information. 10. Click OK. Pre-Logon Connection Pre-Logon/Common profiles are applied prior to a user log on. If Single Sign On support is installed, the profile is applied and connection is made prior to the the Windows log on sequence (pre-logon). If Single Sign On support is not installed, the profile is applied once the user session is active. Pre-logon/Common profiles always appear at the top of a the Profiles list. A user can still prioritize their own profiles that they have created but they cannot reprioritize Pre-logon/Common Profiles. Since these profiles appear at the top of the profiles list, Intel PROSet/Wireless automatically attempts to connect to the Administrator profiles first before any user created profiles. NOTE: Only administrators can create or export Pre-Logon/Common profiles. Pre-Logon Connect key points are:
● Pre-Logon Connect is active only at the Windows log on.● The following types of profiles can be created as Pre-Logon profiles: ❍ 802.1x MD5, LEAP, EAP-FAST profiles that use either the "Use the Windows logon user name and password" or "Use the following user name and password" credentials when configuring the profile's security settings. ❍ 802.1x PEAP or TTLS profiles with user or machine certificates (the user must have administrative rights to use machine certificates).❍ TLS profiles that use digital certificates to verify the identity of a client and a server. ❍ EAP-SIM profiles that use a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card to validate your credentials with the network. ❍ All non-802.1x (Open and WEP) Common or User Based profiles.● A Pre-Logon profile is applied at Windows user log-on time.Pre-Logon/Common Connection Status Pre-Logon support is installed during a Custom install of the Intel PROSet/Wireless software. Refer to Install and Uninstall the Software for more information. NOTE: If the Single Sign On or Pre-Logon Connect features are not installed, an administrator is still able to create Pre-Logon/Common profiles for export to a user's computer. The following describes how the Pre-Logon Connect feature functions from system power-up. The assumption is that there is a saved profile with valid security settings marked with "Use Windows Logon user name and password" that are applied at the time of Windows log on. 1. After a system power-up, enter your Windows log on domain, user name, and password.2. Click OK. The Pre-Logon profile Status page displays the progress of the network connection. After the wireless adapter is connected to the network access point, the Status page closes and the Windows user logs on.● If the corresponding access point rejects your credentials during the Pre-Logon connect, the profile credentials prompts you for your user credentials. ● Enter your credentials.● Click OK.

Certificates are managed from either Internet Explorer or the Microsoft Windows Control Panel. Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Windows 2000: When a client certificate is obtained, do not enable strong private key protection. If you enable strong private key protection for a certificate, you need to enter an access password for the certificate every time this certificate is used. You must disable strong private key protection for the certificate if you configure the service for TLS or TTLS authentication. Otherwise, the 802.1x service fails authentication because there is no logged in user to provide the required password. Notes about Smart Cards After a Smart Card is installed, the certificate is automatically installed on your computer and is chosen from the personal certificate store and root certificate store. Set up the Client for TLS authenticationStep 1: Obtain a certificate To allow TLS authentication, you need a valid client certificate in the local
repository for the logged-in user's account. You also need a trusted CA certificate in the root store. The following information provides two methods for obtaining a certificate: ● From a corporate certification authority (CA) implemented on a Windows 2000 server.● Import a certificate from a file with Internet Explorer's certificate import wizard.If you do not know how to obtain a user certificate from the CA, consult your administrator for the procedure.

Back to Contents Wireless Network Overview: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection User GuideAbout Wireless Network Technology● Select a Wireless Network● Configure a Wireless Network● Identify a Wireless NetworkA wireless network connects computers without network cables. Instead computers use radio communications to send data between each other. You can communicate directly with other wireless computers, or connect to an existing network through a wireless access point. When you set up your wireless adapter, you select the operating mode for the kind of wireless network you want. You can use your Intel(R) PRO/Wireless Network Connections adapter to connect to other similar wireless devices that comply with the 802.11 standard for wireless networking. Select a Wireless Network ModeWireless networks can operate with or without access points, depending on the number of users in the network. Infrastructure mode uses access points to allow wireless computers to send and receive information. Wireless computers transmit to the access point, the access point receives the information and rebroadcasts it to other computers. The access point can also connect to a wired network or to the Internet. Multiple access points can work together to provide coverage over a wide area.
Device-to-Device mode, also called Ad Hoc mode, works without access points and allows wireless computers to send information directly to other wireless computers. You can use Device-to-Device mode to network computers in a home or small office or to set up a temporary wireless network for a meeting. Configure a Wireless NetworkThere are three basic components that must be configured for an 802.11 wireless network to operate properly: ● Network Name: Each wireless network uses a unique Network Name to identify the network. This name is called the Service Set Identifier (SSID). When you set up your wireless adapter, you specify the SSID. If you want to connect to an existing network, you must use the name for that network. If you are setting up your own network you can make up your own name and use it on each computer. The name can be up to 32 characters long and contain letters and numbers.● Profiles: When you set up your computer to access a wireless network, Intel(R)PROSet/Wireless creates a profile for the wireless settings that you specify. If you want to connect to another network, you can scan for existing networks and make a
temporary connection, or create a new profile for that network. After you create profiles, your computer will automatically connect when you change locations.● Security: The 802.11 wireless networks use encryption to help protect your data. Wired equivalent privacy (WEP) uses a 64- or 128-bit shared encryption key to scramble data. Before a computer transmits data, it uses a secret encryption key to scramble the data. The receiving computer uses this same key to unscramble the data. If you are connecting to an existing network, use the encryption key provided by the administrator of the wireless network. If you are setting up your own network you can make up your own key and use it on each computer. 802.1x authentication is independent of the 802.11 authentication process. The 802.1x standard provides a framework for various authentication and key-management protocols. There are different 802.1x authentication types, each providing a different approach to authentication but all employing the same 802.1x protocol and framework for communication between a client and an access point Identify a Wireless NetworkDepending on the size and components of a wireless network, there are many ways to identify a wireless network: ● The Network Name or Service Set Identifier (SSID)—Identifies a wireless network. All wireless devices on the network must use the same SSID. ● Extended Service Set Identifier (ESSID)—A special case of SSID used to identify a wireless network that includes access points. ● Independent Basic Service Set Identifier (IBSSID)—A special case of SSID used to identify a network of wireless computers configured to communicate directly with one another without using an access point. ● Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID)—A unique identifier for each wireless device. The BSSID is the Ethernet MAC address of the device. ● Broadcast SSID—An access point can respond to computers
sending probe packets with the broadcast SSID. If this feature is enabled on the access point, any wireless user can associate with the access point by using a blank (null) SSID.Back to TopBack to Contents Trademarks and Disclaimers
