WMM
Wireless Multimedia
(WMM) is a
IEEE
technology standard designed to improve the quality of audio, video
and multimedia applications on a wireless network. Both access points and wireless clients (laptops,
consumer electronics products) can be WMM-enabled. WMM features are based on is a subset of the
WLAN
IEEE
802.11e
draft specification. Wireless products that are built to the standard and pass a set of
quality tests can carry the "Wi-Fi certified for WMM" label to ensure interoperability with other such
products. For more information, see the WMM page on the Wi-Fi Alliance Web site:
http://www.wi-fi.org/

.
WPA
Wi-Fi Protected Access
(WPA) is a
Wi-Fi
Alliance version of the draft
IEEE
802.11i
standard. It provides
more sophisticated data encryption than
WEP
and also provides user authentication. WPA includes
TKIP
and
802.1x
mechanisms.
WPA2
Wi-Fi Protected Access
(WPA2) is an enhanced security standard, described in
IEEE
802.11i
, that uses
Advanced Encryption Standard (
AES
) for data encryption.
The original
WPA
uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (
TKIP
) for data encryption. WPA2 is backwards-
compatible with products that support the original
WPA
.
WPA2, like the original
WPA
, supports an
Enterprise
and
Personal
version. The Enterprise version
requires use of IEEE
802.1x
security features and
Extensible Authentication Protocol
(
EAP
) authentication
with a
RADIUS
server.
The Personal version does not require IEEE
802.1x
or
EAP
. It uses a
Pre-Shared Key
(
PSK
) password to
generate the keys needed for authentication.
WRAP
Wireless Robust Authentication Protocol
(WRAP) is an encryption method for
802.11i
that uses
AES
but
another encryption mode (
OCB
) for encryption and integrity.
X
XML
The
Extensible Markup Language
(XML) is a specification developed by the
W3C
. XML is a simple, flexible
text format derived from
Standard Generalized Markup Language
(SGML), which is defined in
ISO
8879:1986
, designed especially for electronic publishing.
