Ad hoc networks are typically small and simple (for example, two wireless PCs or a wireless PC and a wireless printer). Performance on these types of networks can degrade if more than six devices are on the network. Ad hoc networks are also known as peerto-peer networks, independent basic service stations (IBSS), or direct-connect wireless networks. AES: Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a U.S. government sponsored encryption method that uses a complex algorithm called "Rijndael." AES uses encryption keys to encode data. AES automatically changes the encryption keys after a certain time interval, thus making the wireless network less vulnerable to eavesdropping. Authentication: Authentication is a wireless network security strategy. On a network with authentication, devices use a shared key as a password and communicate only with devices that know the key. Authentication does not encrypt the data sent between wireless devices. Authentication can be used in conjunction with WEP. Authentication keys and WEP keys can be identical. 41
