Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA / WPA2)
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.
WPA-PSK is a weaker form of authentication when compared with WPA-EAP, but WPA-PSK is far more secure than WEP.
WPA2 is an upgraded form of WPA. WPA2 solves some security issues found in WPA. Similar to WPA, WPA2 has two variations, called WPA2-
Personal (PSK) and WPA2-Enterprise (EAP).
