Description
The Wi-Fi Alliance WPA2-Enterprise certification means the WLAN equipment can support DoD security protocol and encryption requirements, most notably EAP-TLS and AES-CCMP. If the equipment has not been WPA-Enterprise certified, the equipment may not have the required security functionality to adequately protect DoD networks and information.
