Personal WEP keys are used for authenticating the user in a network.
Personal keys are usually created by the system administrator, who can store
them on smart cards and then distribute them to the users. Personal keys can
also be saved in a file. Because personal keys are not network specific, they
cannot be saved together with profiles. They can, however, be saved
independently from profiles.
Personal keys can be used only with the infrastructure operating mode. Ad
hoc networks use shared keys only. See "WEP security" on page 38 for more
information.
There are two types of personal keys, and the difference between the keys is
the type of information which is used for identifying the user:
To create a new personal key:
Click New. Give the personal key a name. You can also add in the text box
1
a further description of the key , such as the name of the network where the
key is used.
Select the type of key you want to create: user-specific or station-specific. If
2
you choose a station-specific key , the MAC address of the wireless LAN
card is used as an identifier. If you choose a user-specific key , you can
choose the identifier yourself. However, make sure that the same personal
key is configured to the access point; if the access point and wireless LAN
card are using incompatible keys, they cannot communicate.
Select the appropriate key length. Supported key lengths are 40, 56, 64,
3
104, and 128 bits. Remember that the more bits there are in the key, the
higher the level of security. Click Generate. The system generates your
personal key .
Click OK to save the WEP key and to close the dialog box.

Similarly, you can edit existing keys. You can also remove keys you do not
need any more. Instead of creating a personal key yourself, you can import
from a folder a key created by a system administrator. You can export and
save personal keys in folders. The system administrator can also store
personal keys on smart cards.

themselves.
