Protected
Access)
was
designed
to
improve
upon
the
security
features
of
WEP
(Wired

provides
improved
data
encryption
through
the
Temporal
Integrity
Protocol
(TKIP),
which
scrambles
the
keys
using
a
hashing
algorithm
and
by
adding
an
integrity
checking
feature
which
makes
sure
that
keys
haven’t
been
tampered
with.
