WPA / WPA-PSK: Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) employs a combination of technologies to provide an enhanced security solution for wireless networks. The WPA Pre-shared Key (WPA-PSK) mode for small networks uses a common password phrase that must be manually distributed to all clients that want to connect to the network.
  • Page 17 AES: Use Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) keys for encryption. WPA2 uses AES Counter-Mode encryption with Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code (CBC-MAC) for message integrity. The AES Counter-Mode/CBCMAC Protocol (AES-CCMP) provides extremely robust data confidentiality using a 128-bit key. Use of AES-CCMP encryption is specified as a standard requirement for WPA2.
