Authentication Protocol to secure network access, and an encryption method called
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) to secure data transmissions.
WPA2
An enhanced version of WPA. It is the official 802.11i standard. It uses Advanced
Encryption Standard instead of TKIP. AES supports 128-bit, 192-bit, and 256-bit
encryption keys.
