Chapter 7 Appendix — Glossary of network terms144 - ENGLISHGlossary of network termsTerm DescriptionAccess point This is a signal station for relaying signals between the wireless LAN and the computer. A computerconnected to the access point can communicate via the network connected to the access point.AES Abbreviation for Advanced Encryption Standard. The next-generation encryption method of US governmentstandardized by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).AES: Advanced Encryption SystemDefault gateway This is equipment used to connect to a network using a different network standard from the network in use. Itallows the connection between the networks by adjusting for the differences in the communication protocols.The data is sent to the host set in the default gateway when the gateway is not set in the IP address of thedestination.DHCP Abbreviation for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A protocol to automatically assign an IP address tothe connected device. An IP address is automatically assigned to the device connected if a device with theDHCP server function is within the LAN.EAP Abbreviation for PPP Extensible Authentication Protocol. An authentication protocol expanding the PPP usedduring the user authentication by remote access. MD5, TLS, and S/Key are supported as the authenticationmethod. This is the protocol supported by the wireless LAN authentication standard IEEE802.1X, and thereare formats such as EAP-TLS/EAP-TTLS/EAPLEAP/EAP-PEAP/EAP-MD5.EAP-FAST Abbreviation for EAP-Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling. One of the wireless authenticationmethods supporting the IEEE802.1X. It enhances security by tunneling of the authentication process usinga secret key encryption method not requiring a digital authentication, and mutually authenticating the tunnel.Proprietary method of Cisco Systems Inc.EAP-TTLS Abbreviation for EAP-Tunneled Transport Layer Security. One of the wireless authentication methodssupporting the IEEE802.1X. An authentication server electronic certificate, client will perform mutualauthentication by an ID/password. Authentication process will be tunneled. Developed by the Funk Softwareof US.GTC (EAP-GTC) Abbreviation for EAP-Generic Token Card. One of the wireless authentication methods supporting theIEEE802.1X. Authentication is performed using the ID password. A security token is used as the password.IP address IP (Internet Protocol) is a protocol to transmit data, and the IP address is the destination (address) whentransmitting data on a network. The same IP address cannot be used within the same LAN.LAN Abbreviation for Local Area Network. This is a network with a relatively small range such as inside acompany.MAC address An ID number unique to each network adapter.A unique number is assigned to network adapters throughout the world, and data is sent and receivedbetween the adapters based on this. This ID number is a combination of the unique number for themanufacturer managed and assigned by IEEE and the number assigned by each manufacturer to theiradapter.MD5 (EAP-MD5) Abbreviation for EAP-Message digest algorithm 5. One of the wireless authentication methods supportingthe IEEE802.1X. Authentication is performed using the ID password. Password is sent encrypted with thechallenge & response format.Miracast A standard established by the Wi-Fi Alliance for the wireless transmission of device screens.MS-CHAPv2(EAP-MS-CHAPv2)Abbreviation for EAP-Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol v2.One of the wireless authentication methods supporting the IEEE802.1X. Mutual authentication is performedusing one way encryption password.Open System/open One of the wireless authentication methods using public key encryption.PEAP Abbreviation for EAP-Protected EAP. One of the wireless authentication methods supporting theIEEE802.1X. An authentication server electronic certificate, client will perform mutual authentication by an ID/password.RADIUS server RADIUS is an abbreviation of Remote Access Dial In User authentication Service, and it is a protocol usedfor authentication in a network such as wireless LAN. The authentication server supporting that protocolis called RADIUS server. It is not required to register the user information individually to each device evenwhen there are multiple network devices by using the RADIUS server, allowing the integrated managementof many network devices and users.Shared Key/share One of the wireless authentication methods using the secret key encryption, and it is a method toauthenticate using the encryption key set in the WEP. This is the encryption method using same key for bothencryption and decryption, and it is also called as “shared key encryption” or “common key encryption”.SSID Abbreviation for Service Set ID. With the wireless LAN, it is necessary to set the identification code calledas SSID to differentiate if it is the access point to communicate. It may be displayed as “ESSID” or “Networkname” in the wireless LAN adapter depending on the manufacturer.Subnet mask The network may manage the large network by dividing it to multiple smaller network called as subnet. Insuch case, the value to delimit the IP address is called as subnet mask.TKIP Abbreviation for Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. This is an encryption protocol with enhanced securityprotection than the WEP by changing the encryption key every specified time.WEP Abbreviation for Wired Equivalent Privacy. This is the method to encrypt the data to communicate. Bycreating an encryption key and only notifying it to the person to communicate, the communication data willnot be decrypted by a third party.
