Certificates contain detailed information about the user's device in a standard format. They are typically issued by a trusted third-party Certificate Authority (CA). Locally administered, or "self-signed", certificates are valid in some instances. This is a non-networking connection from the host computer to the AiO device. The connection is usually USB. Extensible Authentication Protocol. EAP using Message Digest algorithm 5. A one-way authentication protocol that authenticates the client using a password protected by the MD5 algorithm. EAP using Transport Level Security. A mutual authentication protocol based on digital certificates. EAP using Tunneled Transport Level Security. A mutual authentication protocol that uses digital certificates for server authentication and passwords for client authentication. For additional security, the authentication exchanges are encapsulated within TLS (Transport Level Security). Encryption encodes the data being sent across the network, making the data unintelligible to eavesdroppers. There are two basic forms of encryption: • Static encryption (such as WEP): The same key is used for all devices on the network and the key remains the same for long periods of time. • Dynamic encryption (such as WPA): Each device has a different key and all keys change frequently. Note: All devices on the network must use the same form of encryption. Embedded Web Server. A router or computer that connects two dissimilar networks. When networks are divided into subnets, gateways are often used to isolate one subnet from another to control network traffic. An 802.11 networking framework in which devices communicate with each other by first going through an Access Point (AP) (i.e., a router or gateway). This form of wireless networking allows wireless clients to communicate with wired Ethernet clients by sending all packets through a common router. A networking product used in the HP PSC 2500 Series that focuses on home users and facilitates both wired and wireless Ethernet connectivity. reference guide 171

Digital Certificate
An electronic means of proving the identity of a network user
or device. Certificates contain detailed information about the
user's device in a standard format. They are typically issued
by a trusted third-party Certificate Authority (CA). Locally
administered, or “self-signed”, certificates are valid in some
instances.
Direct (Local)
Connect
This is a non-networking connection from the host computer
to the AiO device. The connection is usually USB.
EAP
Extensible Authentication Protocol.
EAP-MD5
EAP using Message Digest algorithm 5. A one-way
authentication protocol that authenticates the client using a
password protected by the MD5 algorithm.
EAP-TLS
EAP using Transport Level Security. A mutual authentication
protocol based on digital certificates.
EAP-TTLS
EAP using Tunneled Transport Level Security. A mutual
authentication protocol that uses digital certificates for server
authentication and passwords for client authentication. For
additional security, the authentication exchanges are
encapsulated within TLS (Transport Level Security).
Encryption
Encryption encodes the data being sent across the network,
making the data unintelligible to eavesdroppers. There are
two basic forms of encryption:
Static encryption (such as WEP)
: The same key is used for
all devices on the network and the key remains the same
for long periods of time.
Dynamic encryption (such as WPA)
: Each device has a
different key and all keys change frequently.
Note:
All devices on the network must use the same
form of encryption.
EWS
Embedded Web Server.
Gateway
A router or computer that connects two dissimilar networks.
When networks are divided into subnets, gateways are often
used to isolate one subnet from another to control network
traffic.
Infrastructure
An 802.11 networking framework in which devices
communicate with each other by first going through an
Access Point (AP) (i.e., a router or gateway). This form of
wireless networking allows wireless clients to communicate
with wired Ethernet clients by sending all packets through a
common router.
Internal networking
component
A networking product used in the HP PSC 2500 Series that
focuses on home users and facilitates both wired and
wireless Ethernet connectivity.
