WPA –
WPA provides a scheme of mutual authentication using
a
PA-PSK

KIP
– TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) changes the
sage
either IEEE 802.1x/Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)
authentication or pre-shared key (PSK) technology. It provides
high level of assurance to enterprises, small businesses and
home users that data will remain protected and that only
authorized users may access their networks. For enterprises that
have already deployed IEEE 802.1x authentication, WPA offers
the advantage of leveraging existing authentication databases
and infrastructure.
W
business users who do not have access to network authenticati
servers. In this mode, known as Pre-Shared Key, the user
manually enters the starting password in their access point
gateway, as well as in each wireless stations in the network.
WPA-PSK takes over automatically from that point, keeping
unauthorized users that don't have the matching password fr
joining the network, while encrypting the data traveling between
authorized devices.
W
authentication or PSK technology. It also includes a new
advanced encryption mechanism using the Advanced Enc
Standard (AES). AES is required to the corporate user or
government users. The difference between WPA and WPA
WPA2 provides data encryption via the AES. In contrast, WPA
uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP).
W
The difference between WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK is that
WPA2-PSK provides data encryption via the AES. In contra
WPA-PSK uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP).
