Encryption methods
Encryption is used to secure the data that is sent over the wireless network. The Brother wireless network
printer supports the following encryption methods:
■
None
No encryption method is used.
■
WEP
By using WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), the data is encrypted by a static secure key.
■
TKIP
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) provides per-packet key mixing, message integrity check and a
re-keying mechanism.
■
AES
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is Wi-Fi
®
authorized strong encryption standard.
■
CKIP
The original Key Integrity Protocol for LEAP by Cisco Systems, Inc.
Network key
There are some rules for each security method:
■
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 5 text characters.
e.g. “WSLAN” (this is case sensitive).
•
64 (40) bit hexadecimal:
Uses 10 digits of hexadecimal data.
e.g. “71f2234aba”
•
128 (104) bit ASCII:
Uses 13 text characters.
e.g. “Wirelesscomms” (this is case sensitive)
•
128 (104) bit hexadecimal:
Uses 26 digits of hexadecimal data
e.g. “71f2234ab56cd709e5412aa2ba”
■
WPA-PSK and TKIP/AES
Uses a Pre-Shared Key (PSK) that is more than 7 and less than 64 characters in length.
