WPA2 is the second generation of WPA security; it provides enterprise and
consumer Wi-Fi users with a high level of assurance that only authorized users
can access their wireless networks.
• Data encryption:
◦
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) provides security by encrypting data sent over
radio waves from one wireless device to another wireless device. Devices on a
WEP-enabled network use WEP keys to encode data. If your network uses
WEP, you must know the WEP key(s) it uses.
◦ WPA uses the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) for encryption and
employs 802.1X authentication with one of the standard Extensible
Authentication Protocol (EAP) types available today.
◦ WPA2 provides a new encryption scheme, the Advanced Encryption Standard
(AES). AES is defined in counter cipher-block chaining mode (CCM) and
supports the Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS) to enable security between
client workstations operating in ad hoc mode.
