Tips: WEP is a security protocol
that is designed to provide a wireless
local area network (WLAN) with a
level of security and privacy
comparable to that of a wired LAN
by encrypting the data that is
transmitted.
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is a
fairly new standard for wireless
networks and is more secure than
WEP.
WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) is
an enhanced version of WPA. It is
the official 802.11i standard that was
ratified by the IEEE in June 2004. It
uses Advanced Encryption Standard
instead of TKIP (see above). AES
supports 128-bit, 192-bit and 256-bit
keys.
WPA2 supersedes the previous
security specification, Wired
Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and WPA
in security.
