3.5.1 WPA, WPA2 Authentication & TKIP, AES Encryption
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) was designed to improve upon the security
features of WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). The technology is designed to work
with existing Wi-Fi products that have been enabled with WEP. WPA 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. EAP
(Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an extension to the PPP protocol that
enables a variety of authentication protocols to be used. It passes through the
exchange of authentication messages, allowing the authentication software
stored in a server to interact with its counterpart in the client
