Wireless Security (Windows CE 5.0)
For authentication, the 802.11 standard defines open system and shared key authentication types. For data confidentiality, the 802.11 standard defines Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP).
The 802.11 standard does not define or provide a WEP key management protocol that provides automatic encryption key determination and renewal. This is a limitation to IEEE 802.11 security services — especially for wireless infrastructure mode with a large number of wireless clients. This issue is solved by using the combination of IEEE 802.1X port-based network access control and the Extensible Authentication Protocol-Transport Level Security (EAP-TLS) for IEEE 802.11 networks.
