improves upon the security features of WEP. To use WPA security, the
drivers and software of your wireless equipment must be upgraded

63 characters long. It can be a combination of letters, numbers,

environment.
WPA (with radius server)
distributes the network key to the clients automatically. This is
typically found in a business environment.
