    WPA/WPA2 WPA/WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is more secure than WEP. It uses a “Shared Key” which allows the encryption keys to be regenerated at a specified interval. There are several encryption options: TKIP, AES, TKIP-AES and additional setup for RADIUS is required in this method. The most important features beyond WPA to become standardized through 802.11i/WPA2 are: pre- authentication, which enables secure fast roaming without noticeable signal latency.
  • Page 60 WPA-PSK WPA2-PSK securities is enabled on the Wireless Router. To make a connection, each station must use the same algorithms and pass phrase as the Wireless Router. RADIUS Server: RADIUS is an authentication, authorization and accounting client-server protocol. The client is a Network Access Server that desires to authenticate its links.
