WPA Pre-Shared Key Encryption

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use a pre-

shared key to authenticate wireless stations and encrypt data during communication. It

uses TKIP or CCMP (AES) to change the encryption key frequently. So the encryption

key will not easy to be cracked by hackers. This is the best security available.
