Appendix
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to
improve upon the security features of WEP. The technology is designed to work
with existing Wi-Fi products that have been enabled with WEP (i.e., as a software
upgrade to exiting hardware), but the technology includes two improvements
over WEP:
1) Improved data encryption through Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)
2) User authentication using Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) via a
RADIUS server.
Note that WPA is an interm standard that will be replaced with the IEEE's 802.11i
standard upon its completion.
WPA
- Wi-Fi Protected Access authorizes and authenticates users onto the
wireless network. WPA uses stronger security then WEP and is based on a key
that changes automatically at a regular interval. This mode requires a RADIUS
server in the network.
WPA-PSK
- Pre-Shared Key mode means that the wireless client and the
router must have the same passphrase in order to establish the wireless
connection. A RADIUS server is not required with this mode.
