What is WPA security?
30-Nov-08WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK) stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access with a Pre-Shared Key, and was developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance to address the security weaknesses associated with WEP security. WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK) is a standards-based security technique where each packet of information is encrypted with a different code, or key. Since the key is constantly changing, WPA/WPA2 is very secure.
A user or client, also called an end station, must authenticate before associating with an Access Point (AP), or broadband Wi-Fi router, and gaining access to the Wi-Fi Local Area Network (LAN). The IEEE 802.11 standard defines two link-level types of authentication: Open System and Shared Key. WEP is not recommended for a secure WLAN due to its inherent weaknesses. One of the main security risks is a hacker can capture the encrypted form of an authentication response frame, using widely available software applications, and use the information to crack WEP encryption.
