Pre-Shared Key:
The key is entered as a pass-phrase of up to 63 alphanumeric
characters in ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) format at
both ends of the wireless connection. It cannot be shorter than eight characters,
although for proper security it needs to be of ample length and should not be a
commonly known phrase. This phrase is used to generate session keys that are
unique for each wireless client.
