Authentication and encryption for wireless users only

Authentication method

The Brother machine supports the following methods:
•
Open system
Wireless devices are allowed to access the network without any authentication.
•
Shared key
A secret pre-determined key is shared by all devices that will access the wireless network. The Brother machine uses the WEP keys as the pre-determined key.
•
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK
Enables a Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK), which enables the Brother wireless machine to associate with access points using TKIP for WPA-PSK or AES for WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK (WPA-Personal).
•
LEAP
Cisco LEAP (Light Extensible Authentication Protocol) has been developed by Cisco Systems, Inc. and enables the Brother wireless product to associate with access points using CKIP encryptions.
•
EAP-FAST
EAP-FAST (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Flexible Authentication via Secured Tunnel) has been developed by Cisco Systems, Inc. which uses user ID and password for authentication, and symmetric key algorithms to achieve a tunneled authentication process.
The Brother machine supports the following inner authentications:
•
EAP-FAST/NONE
MS-CHAPv2 is used for Provisioning, and the method of EAP-FAST corresponding to second phase authentication method.
•
EAP-FAST/MS-CHAPv2
Method of EAP-FAST corresponding to CCXv4 that uses MS-CHAPv2 for inner method.
•
EAP-FAST/GTC
Method of EAP-FAST corresponding to CCXv4 that uses GTC for inner method.

Encryption methods

Encryption is used to secure the data that is sent over the wireless network. The Brother machine supports the following encryption methods:
•
WEP
By using WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), the data is transmitted and received with a secure key.
•
TKIP
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) provides per-packet key mixing a message integrity check and re-keying mechanism.
•
AES
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is Wi-Fi® authorized strong encryption standard.
•
CKIP
The original Key Integrity Protocol for LEAP by Cisco Systems, Inc.

Network key

There are some rules for each security method:
•
Open system/Shared key with WEP
This key is a 64-bit or 128-bit value that must be entered in an ASCII or hexadecimal format.
•
64 (40) bit ASCII:
Uses 5 text characters. e.g.“WSLAN” (this is case sensitive).
•
64 (40) bit hexadecimal:
Uses 10 digits of hexadecimal data. e.g.“71f2234aba”.
•
128 (104) bit ASCII:
Uses 13 text characters. e.g.“Wirelesscomms” (this is case sensitive).
•
128 (104) bit hexadecimal:
Uses 26 digits of hexadecimal data. e.g.“71f2234ab56cd709e5412aa2ba”.
•
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK and TKIP or AES
Uses a Pre-Shared Key (PSK) that is 8 or more characters in length, up to a maximum of 63 characters.
•
LEAP
Uses User ID and Password.
•
User ID: less than 64 characters in length.
•
Password: less than 32 characters in length.
•
EAP-FAST
Uses User ID and Password.
•
User ID: less than 64 characters in length.
•
Password: less than 32 characters in length.
