3.4.3 WPA-PSK Authentication & TKIP, AES Encryption
WPA – PSK (Pre-shared Key) is used in a Pre Shared Key mode that does not require an
authentication server. Access to the Internet and the rest of the wireless network services
is allowed only if the pre-shared key of the computer matches that of the Access Point.
This approach offers the simplicity of the WEP key, but uses stronger TKIP encryption.
EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an extension to the PPP protocol that enables
a variety of authentication protocols to be used. It passes through the exchange of
authentication messages, allowing the authentication software stored in a server to
interact with its counterpart in the client.
