Chapter 2 — Connecting and Configuring the CK61
CK61 Handheld Computer User’s Manual With Windows CE 45
The CK61 provides three types of security for your wireless network:
Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2/802.11i), WPA, and WEP. 802.1x
should be referred to as an authentication method used for WPA and
WPA2. Another authentication method for WPA and WPA2 would be
the Pre-Shared Key (PSK).
Choosing Between Microsoft and Funk Security
Before you can implement a security solution on the CK61, you need
to choose between Microsoft and Funk security:
• By default, Funk security is enabled. It provides everything you get
with Microsoft security plus the addition of Cisco Compatible
Extensions features. It also provides additional authentication
types like EAP-TTLS, LEAP, and EAP-FAST.
EAP-TLS Transport Layer Security. Based on the TLS (Transport Layer
Security) protocol widely used to secure web sites. This
requires both the user and authentication server have
certificates for mutual authentication. While cryptically
strong, this requires corporations that deploy this to maintain
a certificate infrastructure for all users.
LEAP Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol. Also known
as Cisco-Wireless EAP, provides username/password based
authentication between a wireless client and a RADIUS server.
In the 802.1x framework, traffic cannot pass through a
wireless network access point until it successfully
authenticates itself.
EAP-TTLS Tunneled Transport Layer Security. This protocol provides
authentication like EAP-TLS but does not require certificates
for every user. Instead, authentication servers are issued
certificates. User authentication is done using a password or
other credentials that are transported in a securely encrypted
“tunnel” established using server certificates.
EAP-TTLS works by creating a secure, encrypted tunnel
through which you present your credentials to the
authentication server. Thus, inside EAPTTLS there is another
inner authentication protocol that you must configure via
Additional TTLS Settings.
