How to view wlan encryption mode on a Mac?

0

I currently use Mac OS X Snow Leopard on a MacBook. I'd like to view the encryption mode that a wireless network is using. I.e. something like network X is using WPA with AES. Is this possible or do I need some third party software?

If it's sufficient detailed for you: pressing Option while clicking the AirPort icon in the menu bar displays more details for your current connection, and enables tooltips for all other networks in that list.
