WPA
Wi-Fi Protected Access.
An authentication and encryption standard for
wireless networks. WPA addresses the
security limitations of WEP, providing a
stronger data encryption method; TKIP. WPA
data encryption is based on a WPA master
key. The master key is derived from the
passphrase and the network name (SSID) of
the device.
WPA2
Wi-Fi Protected Access 2.
An enhanced version of WPA. For data
encryption, WPA2 uses AES instead of TKIP.
