Authentication
802.11 supports four subtypes of network authentication services: Open, Shared,
WPA, and WPA-PSK. Under Open authentication, any wireless station can request
authentication. The station that needs to authenticate with another wireless station
sends an authentication management frame that contains the identity of the sending
station. The receiving station then sends back a frame that indicates whether it
recognizes the identity of the sending station.
