WEP

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a security protocol specified in IEEE
802.11 to provide the same level of security as that of a wired LAN.
WEP provides security by encrypting data over radio so that it is
protected as it is transmitted from one end point to another.

WIA

Windows Imaging Architecture (WIA) is an imaging architecture that
is originally introduced in Windows Me and Windows XP. A scan can
be initiated from within these operating systems by using a WIA-
compliant scanner.

WPA

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a class of systems to secure wireless
(Wi-Fi) computer networks, which was created to improve upon the
security features of WEP.

WPA-PSK

WPA-PSK (WPA Pre-Shared Key) is special mode of WPA for small
business or home users. A shared key, or password, is configured in
the wireless access point (WAP) and any wireless laptop or desktop
devices. WPA-PSK generates a unique key for each session between
a wireless client and the associated WAP for more advanced security.

WPS

The Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a standard for establishing a
wireless home network. If your wireless access point supports WPS,
you can configure the wireless network connection easily without a
computer.

XPS

XML Paper Specification (XPS) is a specification for a Page
Description Language (PDL) and a new document format, which has
benefits for portable document and electronic document,
developed by Microsoft. It is an XML-based specification, based on a
new print path and a vector-based device-independent document
format.
