How AOSS Handles Security:
When two or more AOSS clients attach to the AOSS network,the client and router automatically negotiate the highest
level of security that the clients and router can support.In the above example, one of the AOSS clients supports both
WEP and WPA level encryption (TKIP and AES), while the other supports only WEP. AOSS automatically adjusts the
security to a level that both clients support.
