Item DescriptionsRADIUS serverRADIUS is an abbreviation of Remote Access Dial In User authentication Service, andit is a protocol used for authentication in various networks such as wireless LAN. Anauthentication server compatible with the protocol is called a RADIUS server.The RADIUS server eliminates the need of registering user information separately in eachdevice even when there are multiple network devices, and enables integrated managementof multiple network devices and users.Shared Key / SHAREDThis is a secret key encryptosystem for wireless signals in which authentication isperformed with a key pre-set in the WEP.Other terms for this method, in which the same key is used for both encryption anddecryption, are “shared key encryptosystem” and “common key encryptosystem”.SSIDAbbreviation for Service Set ID. The SSID identification code must be set to distinguishequipment included in a wireless LAN that uses access points from equipment not includedin that LAN.This may appear as the “ESSID” or the “network name” for wireless LAN adapters made bysome manufacturers.SUBNET MASKThis limits the range of the IP addresses assigned to computers in order to divide thenetwork into a number of sections during TCP/IP connection. The value used to divide thenetwork at this time is called the subnetmask.TKIPAbbreviation for Temporal Key Integrity Protocol.This encryption protocol provides even greater security than WEP because it changes theencryption key at fixed intervals.WEPAbbreviation for Wired Equivalent Privacy. This is a method for encrypting communicationdata. The encryption key is created and notified only to the communicating user, so thecommunication data cannot be decrypted by a third party.WPA-EAPWPA2-EAPStandard for the encryption method for wireless LAN. This is an encryption method forcorporations, and encryption is performed using the external server.WPA-PSKWPA2-PSKThis is a standard covering encryption methods used in wireless LAN.It provides greater security than WEP, and has functions such as a user authenticationfunction and also TKIP (encryption protocol) which automatically changes the encryptionkey at fixed intervals.And this authentication requires no authentication server.ENGLISH - 145Chapter 7 Appendix - Glossary for network functions
