WPA Wi-Fi Protected Access is a security standard based on IEEE 802.11i
specification, that provides a high level of wireless network security. It
uses data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP).
TKIP scrambles the keys and ensures that the keys are not tampered with.
User authentication is performed through the Extensible Authentication
Protocol (EAP), to ensure that only authorized network users can access
the network.
