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.
