ƖWPA2

WPA2 is short for Wi-Fi Protected Access 2. It is the follow on security

method to WPA for wireless networks that provides stronger data

protection and network access control. It provides enterprise and consumer

Wi-Fi users with a high level of assurance that only authorized users can

access their wireless networks. There are two versions of WPA2: WPA2-

Personal, and WPA2- Enterprise. WPA2-Personal protects unauthorized

network access by utilizing a set-up password. WPA2-Enterprise verifies

network users through a server. WPA2 is backward compatible with WPA.
