  563.2. Security In this page, you can configure the security of your wireless network. Selecting different method can make different levels of security. However, no matter what kind of authentication or encryption you use to prevent data packets from being eavesdropped by people without authentication, it may cause decrease of the data throughput of the wireless connection.    Authentication and Encryption There are several kinds of authentication of MZK-W04NU wireless Router. After selecting the authentication mode, it has to cooperate with the encryption type. The settings of authentication on the destination network must be the same with MZK-W04NU.  Open System –If enabling this mode, there is no need authentication to access AP or wireless NIC. Pre-Shared Key –Only those who are sharing the same key with the AP can connect with it.   WEP –WEP is short for Wired Equivalent Privacy, a security protocol for 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 encrypting data over radio waves so that it is protected as it transmitted from one end point to another. There are two kinds of WEP encryption: 64 bit and 128 bit. 64 bit needs 10 hex characters to be the key and 128 bit needs 26 hex characters.   WPA – is short for Wi-Fi Protected Access. It was designed to improve upon the security features of WEP. The technology is designed to work with existing Wi-Fi products that have been enabled with WEP. Through the data encryption, access control and authentication, it provides better protection over data transmission. WPA uses 128-digit keys to ensure the wireless network privacy and security. WPA2 – is short for Wi-Fi Protected Access 2. It is the follow on security method to WPA for wireless networks that provides stronger data protection and network access control. It provides enterprise and consumer Wi-Fi users with a high level of assurance that only authorized users can access their wireless networks. There are two versions of WPA2: WPA2-Personal, and WPA2- Enterprise. WPA2-Personal protects unauthorized network access by utilizing a set-up password. WPA2-Enterprise verifies network users through a server. WPA2 is backward compatible with WPA. WPA-PSK – is short for Wi-Fi Protected Access-Pre-Shared Key. WPA-PSK uses the same encryption way with WPA, and the only difference between them is that WPA-PSK recreates a simple shared key, instead of using the user’s certification. TKIP – is short for Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. TKIP scrambles the keys using a hashing algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that the keys haven’t been tampered with. AES – is short for Advanced Encryption Standard. AES is a symmetric 128-bit block data encryption technique. It has a fixed block size of 128-bits and a key size of 128, 192, or 256-bits. Pass Phrase – Pass Phrase also named Shared Secret which is used only when enabling WPA-PSK
  57authentication.    A passphrase is a string of characters longer than the usual password (which is typically from four to 16 characters long) that is used in creating a digital signature (an encoded signature that proves to someone that it was really you who sent a message) or in an encryption or a decryption of a message. It is applicable only when you select WPA-PSK authentication. You will need to enter an 8~63 characters password to start the encryption process, which will generate four WEP keys automatically.   RADIUS – is short for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service, an authentication and accounting system used by many Internet Service Providers (ISPs). RADIUS setup is used to set up additional parameters for authorizing wireless clients through RADIUS server. The RADIUS setup is required when you select to use Open System with 802.1x or WPA authentication.

  58  Authentication:There are several kinds of authentication types:Open System, Shared Key, WPA, WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK, WPA/WPA2.    Encryption:There are five types of encryption settings, please set the key depending on the real environment. According to the type and length, there are four Key types:    64-bit – Enter 10-digit Hex values or 5-digit ASCII values as the encryption keys. For example: “0123456aef” or “Guest.”  128-bit – Enter 26-digit Hex values or 13-digit ASCII values as the encryption keys. For example: “01234567890123456789abcdef” or “administrator.”  TKIP – It is short for Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. TKIP scrambles the key using a hashing algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that the keys haven’t been tampered with.  AES – Short for Advanced Encryption Standard, a symmetric 128-bit block data encryption technique. It works at multiple network layers simultaneously and has a fixed block size of 128-bits and a key size of 128, 192, or 256-bits.  TKIP/AES – A mix use of both TKIP and AES encryption.    Pass Phrase:It’s also named Shared Secret which is used only when enabling WPA-PSK authentication. A passphrase is a string of characters longer than the usual password (which is typically from four to 16 characters long) that is used in creating a digital signature (an encoded signature that proves to someone that it was really you who sent a message) or in an encryption or a decryption of a message. It is applicable only when you select WPA-PSK authentication. You will need to enter an 8~63 characters password to start the encryption process, which will generate four WEP keys automatically.  Default Key:You can enter four WEP keys and select one of them as default key. Then the router can receive any packets encrypted by one of the four keys. Only the key you select it in the "Default key" will take effect.  WEP Key 1~4:The WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the wireless
