Glossary 33 Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum This is the method the wireless cards use to transmit data ov er the frequency spectrum. The other method is frequency hopping. Direct sequence spreads the data over one frequency r ange (channel) while frequency hopping jumps from one narrow frequency band to another many times per second.
IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Infrastructure An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration. Infrastr ucture is app licab le to enterpr ise scale f or wireless access to central database, or wireless application fo r mobile workers.
Glossary 35 Pr otocol A protocol is a standardized set of rules that specify how a con versation is to tak e place, including the format, timing, sequencing and/ or error checking.
T emporal Key Integrity Pr otocol (TKIP) The T emporal Ke y Integrity Protocol, pronounced tee-kip, is par t of the IEEE 802.11i encryption standard f or wireless LANs. TKIP is the ne xt gener ation of WEP , the Wired Equivalency Protocol, which is used to secure 802.
37 Wi-Fi Protected Access (WP A) The Wi-Fi Alliance put together WP A as a data encryption method for 802.11 wireless LANs . WP A is an industr y- supported, pre-standard version of 802.11i utilizing the T emporal Key Integ rity Protocol (TKIP), which fixes the problems of WEP , including using dynamic k eys.
