Because wireless LANs are generally unlicensed devices that share spectrum withradars, satellites, and other licensed and unlicensed devices, it is sometimes necessary to dynamically detect,avoid, and limit usage to avoid interference with these devices. In many instances Intel is required to provide testdata to prove regional and local compliance to regional and governmental regulations before certification orapproval to use the product is granted. Intel's wireless LAN's EEPROM, firmware, and software driver are designedto carefully control parameters that affect radio operation and to ensure electromagnetic compliance (EMC). Theseparameters include, without limitation, RF power, spectrum usage, channel scanning, and human exposure.For these reasons Intel cannot permit any manipulation by third parties of the software provided in binary formatwith the wireless LAN adapters (e.g., the EEPROM and firmware). Furthermore, if you use any patches, utilities, orcode with the Intel wireless LAN adapters that have been manipulated by an unauthorized party (i.e., patches,utilities, or code (including open source code modifications) which have not been validated by Intel), (i) you will besolely responsible for ensuring the regulatory compliance of the products, (ii) Intel will bear no liability, under anytheory of liability for any issues associated with the modified products, including without limitation, claims underthe warranty and/or issues arising from regulatory non-compliance, and (iii) Intel will not provide or be required toassist in providing support to any third parties for such modified products.Note: Many regulatory agencies consider Wireless LAN adapters to be "modules", and accordingly, conditionsystem-level regulatory approval upon receipt and review of test data documenting that the antennas and systemconfiguration do not cause the EMC and radio operation to be non-compliant."September 23, 2010

The 802.11 specifies an over-the-air interface between a wireless client and a basestation or between two wireless clients and provides 1 or 2 Mbps transmission in the 2.4 GHzband using either frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) or direct sequence spreadspectrum (DSSS).802.11a The 802.11a standard specifies a maximum data transfer rate of 54 Mbps and an operatingfrequency of 5 GHz. The 802.11a standard uses the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing(OFDM) transmission method. Additionally, the 802.11a standard supports 802.11 features suchas WEP encryption for security.802.11b 802.11b is an extension to 802.11 that applies to wireless networks and provides 11 Mbpstransmission (with a fallback to 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbps) in the 2.4 GHz band. 802.11b uses onlyDSSS. Throughput data rate 5+ Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band.802.11g The 802.11g standard specifies a maximum data transfer rate of 54 Mbps, an operatingfrequency of 2.4GHz, and WEP encryption for security. 802.11g networks are also referred to asWi-Fi* networks.802.11n A task group of the IEEE 802.11 committee has defined a new draft specification that providesfor increased throughput speeds of up to 540 Mbps. The specification provides for Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology, or using multiple receivers and multiple transmittersin both the client and access point, to achieve improved performance.802.1X 802.1X is the IEEE Standard for Port-Based Network Access Control. This is used in conjunctionwith EAP methods to provide access control to wired and wireless networks.AAA Server Authentication, Authorization and Accounting Server.

Also known as a peer-to-peer network, a deviceto device network or a computer-to-computer network.AES-CCMP Advanced Encryption Standard - Counter CBC-MAC Protocol is the new method for privacyprotection of wireless transmissions specified in the IEEE 802.11i standard. AES-CCMP providesa stronger encryption method than TKIP. The AES algorithm is capable of using cryptographickeys of 128, 192, and 256 bits to encrypt and decrypt data in 128-bit blocks. AES-CCMP usesthe AES block cipher, but restricts the key length to 128 bits. AES-CCMP incorporates twosophisticated cryptographic techniques (counter mode and CBC-MAC) to provide improvedsecurity between the mobile client and the access point.Authentication Verifies the identity of a user logging onto a network. Passwords, digital certificates, smart cardsand biometrics are used to prove the identity of the client to the network. Passwords and digitalcertificates are also used to identify the network to the client.Availablenetwork One of the networks listed under Available networks on the Wireless Networks tab of theWireless Network Connection Properties (Windows* XP environment).

Technology used in radio transmission. Incompatible withFHSS.EAP Short for Extensible Authentication Protocol, EAP sits inside of Point-to-Point Protocol's (PPP)authentication protocol and provides a generalized framework for several different authenticationmethods. EAP is supposed to head off proprietary authentication systems and let everythingfrom passwords to challenge-response tokens and public-key infrastructure certificates all worksmoothly.EAP-AKA EAP-AKA (Extensible Authentication Protocol Method for UMTS Authentication and KeyAgreement) is an EAP mechanism for authentication and session key distribution, using theUniversal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Subscriber Identity Module (USIM). TheUSIM card is a special smart card used with cellular networks to validate a given user with thenetwork.EAP-FAST EAP-FAST, like EAP-TTLS and PEAP, uses tunneling to protect traffic. The main difference is thatEAP-FAST does not use certificates to authenticate.Provisioning in EAP-FAST is negotiated solely by the client as the first communication exchangewhen EAP-FAST is requested from the server. If the client does not have a pre-shared secretProtected Access Credential (PAC), it can request to initiate a provisioning EAP-FAST exchangeto dynamically obtain one from the server.EAP-FAST documents two methods to deliver the PAC: manual delivery through an out-of-bandsecure mechanism, and automatic provisioning.Manual delivery mechanisms can be any delivery mechanism that the administrator of thenetwork feels is sufficiently secure for their network.Automatic provisioning establishes an encrypted tunnel to protect the authentication ofthe client and the delivery of the PAC to the client. This mechanism, while not as secureas a manual method may be, is more secure than the authentication method used inLEAP.The EAP-FAST method can be divided into two parts: provisioning, and authentication. Theprovisioning phase involves the initial delivery of the PAC to the client. This phase only needs tobe performed once per client and user.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 thehardware token card.EAP-OTP EAP-OTP (One-Time Password) is similar to MD5, except it uses the OTP as the response. Therequest contains a displayable message.

TKIP is the nextgeneration of WEP, the Wired Equivalency Protocol, which is used to secure 802.11 wirelessnetworks. TKIP provides per packet key mixing, a message integrity check and a re-keyingmechanism, thus fixing the flaws of WEP.TLS (TransportLayer Security) A type of authentication method using the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) and asecurity protocol called the Transport Layer Security (TLS). EAP-TLS uses certificates which usepasswords. EAP-TLS authentication supports dynamic WEP key management. The TLS protocol isintended to secure and authenticate communications across a public network through dataencryption. The TLS Handshake Protocol allows the server and client to provide mutualauthentication and to negotiate an encryption algorithm and cryptographic keys before data istransmitted.TTLS (TunneledTransport LayerSecurity)These settings define the protocol and the credentials used to authenticate a user. In TTLS, theclient uses EAP-TLS to validate the server and create a TLS-encrypted channel between theclient and server. The client can use another authentication protocol. Typically password-basedprotocols challenge over this encrypted channel to enable server validation. The challenge andresponse packets are sent over a non-exposed TLS encrypted channel. TTLS implementationstoday support all methods defined by EAP, as well as several older methods (CHAP, PAP, MS-CHAP and MS-CHAP-V2). TTLS can easily be extended to work with new protocols by definingnew attributes to support new protocols.WEP (WiredEquivalentPrivacy)Wired Equivalent Privacy, 64- and 128-bit (64-bit is sometimes referred to as 40-bit). This is alow-level encryption technique designed to give the user about the same amount of privacy thathe 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 securityas that of a wired LAN. WEP aims to provide security by data over radio waves so that it isprotected 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-bitWEP. For pass phrases, 0-9, a-z, A-Z, and ~!@#$%^&*()_+|`-={}|[]\:";'<>?,./ are all validcharacters.The hex key must be 10 hexadecimal characters (0-9, A-F) for 64-bit WEP or 26 hexadecimalcharacters (0-9, A-F) for 128-bit WEP.Wi-Fi*(WirelessFidelity)Is meant to be used generically when referring of any type to 802.11 network, whether802.11b, 802.11a, or dual-band.WiMAX WiMAX, the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, is a telecommunicationstechnology aimed at providing wireless data over long distances in a variety of ways, from point-to-point links to full mobile cellular type access. It is based on the IEEE 802.16 standard. Thename WiMAX was created by the WiMAX Forum, which was formed in June 2001 to promoteconformance and interoperability of the standard. The forum describes WiMAX as "a standards-based technology enabling the delivery of last mile wireless broadband access as an alternativeto cable and DSL."Wireless router A stand-alone wireless hub that allows any computer that has a wireless network adapter tocommunicate with another computer within the same network and to connect to the Internet.WLAN (WirelessLocal-AreaNetwork)A type of local-area network that uses high-frequency radio waves rather than wires tocommunicate between nodes.WPA* (Wi-FiProtectedAccess)This is a security enhancement that strongly increases the level of data protection and accesscontrol to a wireless network. WPA is an interim standard that will be replaced with the IEEE's802.11i standard upon its completion. WPA consists of RC4 and TKIP and provides support forBSS (Infrastructure) mode only. WPA and WPA2 are compatible.WPA2* (Wi-FiProtectedAccess 2)This is the second generation of WPA that complies with the IEEE TGi specification. WPA2consists of AES encryption, pre-authentication and PMKID caching. It provides support for BSS(Infrastructure) mode and IBSS (ad hoc) mode. WPA and WPA2 are compatible.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) thatencrypts data sent over radio waves.

TKIP uses ahashing algorithm to scramble the encryption keys and adds an integrity-checking featureto ensure that the keys have not been tampered with.User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the extensibleauthentication protocol (EAP). WEP regulates access to a wireless network based on acomputer's hardware-specific MAC address, which is relatively simple to be sniffed out andstolen. EAP is built on a more secure public-key encryption system to ensure that onlyauthorized network users can access the network.WPA is an interim standard that will be replaced with the IEEE's 802.11i standard upon itscompletion.WPA-Personal Wi-Fi Protected Access-Personal provides a level of security in the small network or homeenvironment.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 encryptiontypes WEP or TKIP. WPA-PSK requires configuration of a pre-shared key (PSK). You must entera pass phrase or 64 hex characters for a pre-shared key of length 256-bits. The data encryptionkey is derived from the PSK.Back to TopBack to ContentsTrademarks and Disclaimers
