6.4.2.3 WPA Personal
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use a
pre-shared key to authenticate wireless stations and encrypt data during
communication. It uses TKIP and AES to change the encryption key frequently.
This can improve security very much.
Figure 26
TKIP: Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) utilizes a stronger encryption
algorithm and includes Message Integrity Code (MIC) to provide protection
against hackers.
AES: Advanced Encryption System (AES) utilizes a symmetric 128-Bit
block data encryption. It’s the strongest encryption currently available.
WPA Pass Phrase: The WPA Pass Phrase is used to authenticate and
encrypt data transmitted in the wireless network. The input format is in
character style and key size should be in the range between 8 and 63
characters.
