802.11a
A supplement to the IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN (WLAN) specification that
describes transmission through the physical layer (PHY) based on orthogonal
frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), at a frequency of 5 GHz and data
rates of up to 54 Mbps. See also, OFDM.
802.1D
The IEEE LAN specification for remote media access control (MAC) bridging.
802.11g
A supplement to the IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN (WLAN) specification that
describes transmission through the physical layer (PHY) based on orthogonal
frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), at a frequency of 2.4 GHz and data
rates of up to 54 Mbps. See also, OFDM.
802.11i
A supplement to the IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN (WLAN) specification for
enhanced security. It describes encryption protocols such as the Temporal Key
Integrity Protocol (TKIP) and AES Counter-Mode Cipher Block Chaining
Message Authentication Code Protocol (AES-CCMP). These protocols provide
replay protection, cryptographically keyed integrity checks, and key derivation
based on the IEEE 802.1X port authentication standard. See also, TKIP.
802.1Q
The IEEE LAN specification for bridged virtual LANs (VLANs). See also, VLAN.
802.1X
The IEEE specification for port-based network access control. The 802.1X
standard based on the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) provides an
authentication framework that supports a variety of methods for authenticating
and authorizing network access for wired or wireless users. See also, EAP.
