 TKIP
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) provides per-packet key mixing, a message integrity check and
rekeying mechanism.
 AES
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) provides stronger data protection using a symmetric-key
encryption.
Network key
20
 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 five text characters. For example, “WSLAN” (case-sensitive)
• 64 (40) bit hexadecimal:
Uses 10 digits of hexadecimal data. For example, “71f2234aba”
• 128 (104) bit ASCII:
Uses 13 text characters. For example, “Wirelesscomms” (case-sensitive)
• 128 (104) bit hexadecimal:
Uses 26 digits of hexadecimal data. For example, “71f2234ab56cd709e5412aa2ba”
 WPA/WPA2-PSK and TKIP with AES
Uses a Pre-Shared Key (PSK) that is eight or more characters in length, up to a maximum of 63
characters.
Authentication and Encryption methods for an enterprise wireless network 20
An enterprise wireless network is a large network with IEEE 802.1x support. If you configure your printer in
an IEEE 802.1x supported wireless network, you can use the following authentication and encryption
methods:
When [Communication Mode] is set to [Ad-hoc]
Authentication Method Encryption Mode
Open System None
WEP
When [Communication Mode] is set to [Infrastructure]
Authentication Method Encryption Mode
Open System None
WEP
Public Key Authentication WEP
WPA/WPA2-PSK TKIP+AES
