Wi-Fi Protected Access ( WPA / WPA2 / WPA3 )
WPA was created by the Wi-Fi Alliance to address the limitations and weaknesses found in WEP. This protocol is mainly based on the 802.11i
standard. There are also two variations found in WPA called WPA-Personal (PSK) and WPA-Enterprise (EAP).
WPA-EAP requires the user to install a RADIUS server on the network for authentication.
WPA-Personal does not require the user to install a RADIUS server on the network.
Compared with WPA-EAP, WPA-PSK is a weaker form of authentication but compared to WEP, WPA-PSK is far more secure than WEP. WPA-EAP is
currently the highest level of wireless security for users.
WPA2/WPA3 are upgrades of WPA and solves some possible security issues found in WPA. Similar to WPA, WPA2/WPA3 have two variations
called WPA2/WPA3-Personal (PSK) and WPA2/WPA3-Enterprise (EAP).
