Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA / WPA2 / WPA3)
WPA was created by the Wi-Fi Alliance to address the limitations and weaknesses found in WEP. This protocol is mainly based on the 802.11i
standard. There are also two variations found in WPA called WPA-Personal (PSK) and WPA-Enterprise (EAP).
WPA-EAP requires the user to install a RADIUS Server on the network for authentication.
WPA-Personal does not require the user to install a RADIUS Server on the network.
Comparing WPA-PSK with WPA-EAP, WPA-PSK is seen as a weaker authentication but comparing WPA-PSK to WEP, WPA-PSK is far more secure
than WEP. WPA-EAP is the highest level of wireless security a user can use for wireless today.
WPA2/WPA3 are upgrades of WPA. WPA2/WPA3 yet again solves some possible security issues found in WPA. WPA2/WPA3 have two variations
called WPA2/WPA3-Personal (PSK) and WPA2/WPA3-Enterprise (EAP) which are the same as found with WPA.
