WPA2
WPA2 is a product certification that is available through the Wi-Fi
Alliance. WPA2 certifies that wireless equipment is compatible with the
IEEE 802.11i standard. The WPA2 product certification formally replaces
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and the other security features of the
original IEEE 802.11 standard. The goal of WPA2 certification is to
support the additional mandatory security features of the IEEE 802.11i
standard that are not already included for products that support WPA.
