WPA Wi-Fi
Protected
Access
WPA is an initiative by the IEEE and Wi-Fi Alliance
to address the security limitations of WEP. WPA
provides a stronger data encryption method
(called Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)). It
runs in a special, easy-to-set-up home mode
called Pre-Shared Key (PSK) that allows you to
manually enter a pass phrase on all the devices in
your wireless network. WPA data encryption is
based on a WPA master key. The master key is
derived from the pass phrase and the network
name (SSID) of the device.
It provides improved data encryption and stronger
user authentication. The mode of WPA supported
on your device is called Pre-Shared Key (PSK),
which allows you to manually enter a type of key
called a pass phrase.
WWW
World Wide Web
Also called (the) Web. Collective term for all web
sites anywhere in the world that can be accessed
via the Internet.
