5.3 WPA ENCRYPTION SETTING
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is a
security technology for wireless
networks. WPA improves on the
authentication and encryption features
of WEP (Wired Equivalent
Privacy).
To improve data encryption, WPA
utilizes its Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol (TKIP). TKIP provides
important
data encryption enhancements
including a per-packet key
mixing function, a message integrity
check (MIC, named Michael), an
extended initialization vector (IV)
with sequencing rules, and a rekeying
mechanism.
WPA Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK) is a
simplified but still powerful form of
WPA most suitable for home Wi-Fi
networking. To use WPA-PSK, a
person sets a static key or
“passphrase” as with WEP. But,
using TKIP, WPA-PSK automatically
changes the keys at a preset time
interval, making it much more
difficult for hackers to find and
exploit them.
The pre-shared key is consisting of
alpha-numeric characters including
punctuation and spaces between 8
and 63 characters long.Wireless
clients are only required to enter
the pre-shared key.If the pre-shared keys match, secure wireless
communications can begin to take place.
