Authentication Type
To provide a certain level of security, the IEEE 802.11
standard has defined two types of authentication methods,
Open System and Shared Key. With Open System
authentication, a wireless PC can join any network and
receive any messages that are not encrypted. With Shared
Key authentication, only those PCs that possess the correct
authentication key can join the network. By default, IEEE
802.11 wireless devices operate in an Open System network.
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption is used
when the wireless devices are configured to operate in
Shared Key authentication mode.
