802.11 Security Infrastructure

This pages describes the internal workings of 802.11 and how it provides
for both MAC-layer access control and encryption mechanisms,
which are known collectively as wired equivalent privacy (WEP), with
the objective of providing wireless LANs with security equivalent to that
of their wired counterparts. This chapter also describes how the access
control and the ESSID (also known as a WLAN service area ID) is programmed
into each access point and is required knowledge in order for a
wireless client to associate with an access point. In addition, there is
provision for a table of MAC addresses called an access control list (ACL)
to be included in the access point, restricting access to clients whose
MAC addresses are on the list.
