Most cards have an AES encrytpion option and can be used but the encryption may be done through software. The later cards have added a hardware encrytion processor to speed things up. Regular ole WPA using 802.1x and the RC4 encryption (which has nevr been cracked) is probably just as secure but goverment agencies require AES, thus AES. |
