Wi-Fi Protected Access
WPA employs 802.1X as its basic framework for user authentication and dynamic
key management to provide an enhanced security solution for 802.11 wireless
networks.
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
WEP is based on the use of security keys and the popular RC4 encryption
algorithm. Wireless devices without a valid WEP key will be excluded from network
traffic.
WPA Pre-shared Key (PSK)
PSK can be used for small office networks that may not have the resources to
configure and maintain a RADIUS server, WPA provides a simple operating mode
that uses just a pre-shared password for network access.
