Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a strongly enhanced,
interoperable Wi-Fi security that addresses many of the
vulnerabilities of Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). Instead of
WEP, WPA uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) for
its data encryption method.
Currently, WPA satisfies some of the requirements in the IEEE
802.11i draft standard. When the standard is finalized, WPA
will maintain forward compatibility.
WPA runs in Enterprise (802.1x) mode or PSK (Pre-Shared
Key) mode:
• In Enterprise mode, WPA provides user authentication using
802.1x and the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP).
That is, an authentication server (such as a RADIUS server)
must authenticate each device before the device can
communicate with the wireless network.
