Field Description
SECURITY MODE: WPA
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) offers additional
protection with dynamic keys, based on the
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) and
offering authentication of users’ PSK (Pre
Shared Keys) or the Extensible Authentication
Protocol (EAP) with 802.1x (e.g. RADIUS).
Authentication via EAP is generally used in
large wireless LAN installations, as this requires
an authentication service in the form of a server
(e.g. a RADIUS server). PSKs are generally
used in smaller networks, as often occur in
SoHo (Small Office, Home Office)
environments. The corresponding PSK must
therefore be known to all subscribers in the
wireless LAN, because it is used to generate the
session key.
WPA2
The advancement on WPA is WPA2. Not only
has the 802.11i standard been fully
implemented in WPA2, but it also uses another
encryption algorithm (AES, Advanced
Encryption Standard).
